The Vignerons Indépendants wine fair at the Halle Tony Garnier: 421 independent winemakers to taste and buy from on site.
The Salon des Vins des Vignerons Indépendants returns to Lyon for its 36th edition, from 29 October to 1 November 2026 at the historic Halle Tony Garnier. Organized by Vignerons Indépendants de France, this flagship fair brings together hundreds of independent winemakers from every French wine region.
Visitors can taste and discuss directly with the winemakers, exploring a full spectrum of styles (red, white, rosé, sparkling, organic and natural) in the fair's signature egalitarian layout, where identical stands and mixed appellations encourage discovery beyond familiar regions.
Meet the winemakers directly: taste and discuss with independent producers from every French wine region, in a layout designed to encourage discovery of lesser-known terroirs. Join a free tasting workshop: guided sessions on grape varieties, appellations, aromas and wine balance, open to all. Explore the regional food stands: charcuterie, foie gras, cheese and other local specialities to pair with the wines on show. Discover the medal winners of the Concours des Vignerons Indépendants, the competition's own producer awards. Enjoy a complimentary tasting glass, offered to every visitor on arrival.
421 independent winemakers take part. The full list is published and kept up to date by the organiser.
Attending the fair as a buyer or enthusiast? With hundreds of winemakers to taste across four days, keeping track of every wine can quickly become a challenge.
