Salon des Vins des Vignerons Indépendants Nogent-sur-Marne

The Salon des Vins des Vignerons Indépendants is an annual wine fair that stands out for its focus on independent winemakers and its distinctive event experience. Organized by the Vignerons Indépendants de France, based in Paris, the fair is dedicated to promoting and protecting independent winegrowers across France. Held at the Pavillon Baltard in Nogent-sur-Marne near Paris, it welcomes both industry professionals and private wine enthusiasts, offering a platform for authentic encounters, high-quality wines, and personal exchange.

A defining feature of the event is the direct interaction between visitors and winemakers. Attendees not only have the opportunity to taste a wide range of wines but also to engage in conversation with the producers, learn about their cultivation methods, and gain deep insights into the philosophy and craftsmanship behind each wine. The fair showcases an impressively diverse selection of wines from nearly all of France’s major wine regions – from the cool slopes of Alsace, through the storied vineyards of Bordeaux and the elegance of Burgundy, to the sun-drenched landscapes of Languedoc-Roussillon, Provence, the Rhône Valley, and the Armagnac region in the southwest. The offerings include red, white, and rosé wines, sparkling wines, liqueurs, and regional specialties such as Crémants.

In addition to wine, the event features professionally guided tastings that introduce visitors to the fundamentals of sensory analysis, the characteristics of different grape varieties, and the art of mindful wine appreciation. The culinary experience is enriched by selected food stands where producers present regional delicacies – from flavorful sausages and foie gras to cheeses, oysters, and other gourmet offerings. This interplay of wine and gastronomy creates a vibrant atmosphere that transcends the typical trade fair experience.

A particular highlight is the prestigious Concours des Vignerons Indépendants, where outstanding wines are awarded medals. These accolades serve as a helpful guide for both professionals and consumers. The program is further enhanced by cultural elements, including art exhibitions, which add depth to the event and contribute to a holistic and inspiring experience.

Set in the elegant surroundings of the Pavillon Baltard – a historic venue known for its unique architectural charm – the fair brings together a diverse community of wine lovers, connoisseurs, and curious newcomers each year. More than just a sales event, the Salon des Vins des Vignerons Indépendants is a rare opportunity to discover and experience the richness and diversity of independent French winemaking.

The Salon des Vins des Vignerons Indépendants takes place for the 14th time on 3 days from Fri., 10.04.2026 to Sun., 12.04.2026 in Nogent-sur-Marne.
