The Salon des Vins des Vignerons Indépendants returns to Clermont-Ferrand, 16–18 October 2026, with around 115 independent winemakers from across France.
The Salon des Vins des Vignerons Indépendants returns to Clermont-Ferrand for its 11th edition, from 16 to 18 October 2026 at the Polydôme. Organized by Vignerons Indépendants de France, this fair invites both wine lovers and trade professionals into direct dialogue with independent winemakers from across the country.
Around 115 independent winemakers from all French wine regions — Alsace, Bordeaux, Burgundy, Languedoc-Roussillon, Provence, the Southwest, the Loire, the Rhône and more — are expected, offering a wide variety of red, white, rosé, sparkling and sweet wines to taste directly from the producers.
Meet the winemakers directly: taste and discuss with independent producers from every French wine region, with an identical-stand layout that encourages discovery beyond familiar appellations. Join a free tasting workshop: guided sessions covering grape varieties, appellations, aromas and wine balance, open to all and free of charge. Explore the regional food stands: charcuterie, foie gras, cheese and other local specialities to pair with the wines on show. Enjoy a complimentary tasting glass, offered to every visitor on arrival.
Attending the fair as a buyer or enthusiast? With around 115 winemakers to taste across three days, keeping track of every wine can quickly become a challenge. Tastee lets you record your impressions in real time, compare profiles across producers and appellations, and build a structured archive of your discoveries.
Whether you're exploring a region you know well or venturing into unfamiliar appellations, Tastee helps you capture every impression before it fades. Your notes are saved, searchable and ready to share once the fair is over.
