Salon des Vins des Vignerons Indépendants Strasbourg

The Salon des Vins des Vignerons Indépendants is one of France’s most prestigious wine fairs and a well-kept secret among connoisseurs, industry professionals, and passionate wine enthusiasts. Once a year, the Parc des Expositions de Strasbourg transforms into a showcase for the craftsmanship of hundreds of independent winemakers from across the country.

The event is organized by Vignerons Indépendants de France, a Paris-based association that has been championing the values and visibility of independent winemaking for decades. Its members cultivate their own vineyards, bottle their wines themselves, and sell directly to consumers—a philosophy that becomes both tangible and tasteable at the fair. Visitors are treated to a carefully curated selection of wines from renowned French regions such as Alsace, Bordeaux, Burgundy-Beaujolais, the Loire Valley, Rhône Valley, Languedoc-Roussillon, Provence-Corsica, the Southwest, and the Vendée—each bottle an authentic expression of its terroir.

But the fair offers much more than just product presentations: it is a vibrant platform for exchange, where winemakers share their stories, explain their methods, and convey their passion for the craft. Wine tastings are a central feature, complemented by sensory workshops that provide hands-on knowledge about grape varieties, aromatic profiles, tasting techniques, and responsible wine appreciation.

The culinary offerings are equally impressive. Regional producers present a variety of delicacies including cheeses, cured meats, foie gras, oysters, and other specialties—each carefully selected to pair perfectly with the wines on offer.

Exhibitors are almost exclusively from the wine industry, ranging from small family-run estates to long-established wineries. Their offerings appeal to a broad audience: industry professionals, restaurateurs, wine merchants, sommeliers, and discerning private consumers alike. While the Salon des Vins des Vignerons Indépendants is part of a nationwide series of wine fairs held in cities across France, Strasbourg holds a special place thanks to its border location and distinctive charm.

The Parc des Expositions de Strasbourg is conveniently located in the northern part of the city and easily accessible by public transport or car. It offers excellent infrastructure for a relaxed and enjoyable fair experience. Strasbourg itself—with its role as a European capital, cultural hub, and gateway to a prestigious wine region—provides the ideal setting for this unique event, where everything revolves around quality, authenticity, and a shared passion for wine.

Exhibitors and visitors meet for the thirty-third time on the Salon des Vins des Vignerons Indépendants on 4 days from Fri., 13.02.2026 to Mon., 16.02.2026 in Strasbourg.
