Salon des Vins des Vignerons Indépendants Paris

The "Salon des Vins des Vignerons Indépendants" is an annual wine fair held in Paris, specifically at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. It serves as a showcase for the diversity and quality of French wines and spirits, produced by independent winemakers. The event is organized by Vignerons Indépendants de France, an organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the independence of small and medium-sized vineyards.

The abbreviation of the fair's name, "Salon des Vins", reflects its focus on wines and a traditional salon atmosphere, providing visitors with an intimate and detailed insight into the world of wines. Held usually in the fall, the fair attracts visitors from various sectors, especially the wine and spirits industry, allowing them to discover lesser-known appellations and establish direct contact with winemakers.

At the heart of the fair is the presentation of a wide range of products and services from the wine and spirits sector. This includes wine tastings, where experts teach the art of tasting. Culinary accompaniments are provided by stands offering a variety of foods such as sausages, foie gras, and cheese.

The fair also emphasizes its close connection to France and its wine culture through the presentation of regional diversity. A particular highlight is the major wine tasting competition, where consumers serve as jurors and award nearly 1,600 medals.

The "Salon des Vins des Vignerons Indépendants" primarily attracts professionals from the wine and spirits industry as well as wine enthusiasts and is part of a series of events held at various locations.
