The Printemps des Vins de Blaye is one of the major wine events of the Bordeaux vineyard. Organized by the winemakers of the Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux appellation, the event celebrates its 30th edition in 2026 in the heart of the Citadelle de Blaye, an iconic monument listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
For an entire weekend, this historic site overlooking the Gironde estuary transforms into a true wine village where nearly 100 winemakers welcome visitors behind their barrels to showcase their wines.
In a friendly and festive atmosphere, participants can taste a wide selection of red and white wines from the appellation, meet producers, discuss terroirs and winemaking methods, and discover the richness of the Blaye vineyard.
Beyond tastings, the event offers a real wine tourism experience combining gastronomy, culture, and heritage: culinary workshops, themed tastings, guided tours of the citadel, boat trips on the estuary, and fun wine-related activities.
Accessible to both curious visitors and passionate wine lovers, the Printemps des Vins de Blaye has become a must-attend event to discover the wines of this appellation in an exceptional historic setting.
