Le Grand Tasting Paris 2026

Le Grand Tasting Paris returns to the Carrousel du Louvre in November 2026 for a new edition. Organised by Bettane+Desseauve, France’s leading wine experts, this annual festival of great wines has been gathering producers, trade professionals and passionate wine lovers in the heart of Paris since 2006, making it one of the most prestigious consumer wine events in the world.

Each edition brings together nearly 300 producers – from iconic estates to more confidential growers – selected by the Bettane+Desseauve editorial team for the quality and typicity of their wines. More than 13,000 visitors attend over two days to taste, discover and exchange directly with producers across all French wine regions and international appellations. All wines presented have been pre-selected by the Bettane+Desseauve experts.

Alongside the main tasting floor, Le Grand Tasting features a rich programme of masterclasses led by the most prestigious estates – rated 5 stars in the Bettane+Desseauve guide – covering Champagne, Alsace, Rhône Valley, Bordeaux, Burgundy and beyond. Each session offers the unique opportunity to taste 4 to 6 exceptional cuvees in optimal conditions, in Riedel glasses, alongside the winemakers themselves.
