Salon du Vin et de la Gastronomie de Blois 2026

The Salon du Vin et de la Gastronomie de Blois makes its debut from 24 to 26 April 2026 at the Salle Omnisport ADA, in the heart of the Loire Valley. Organised by Jacques Laroche (Loire Expo), this first edition brings together around 60 exhibitors — wine producers, local food artisans and regional specialists — for a three-day celebration of French terroir.

Set in Blois, a city surrounded by some of France's most celebrated appellations — Touraine, Cheverny, Cour-Cheverny and Valençay — the fair offers an ideal introduction to Loire Valley wines alongside a rich selection of regional gastronomy. Whether you are a seasoned wine lover or simply curious, the event promises genuine encounters with producers and authentic tastings in a relaxed, accessible setting.

With free entry and an open format across three days, the Salon du Vin et de la Gastronomie de Blois is designed for everyone: a true gustatory journey across France without leaving the Loir-et-Cher.

What to expect

Visitors can look forward to a wide range of experiences over the three days:

• Wine tastings — Meet producers directly at their stands and taste wines from across France, with a strong focus on Loire Valley appellations.
• Gastronomic discoveries — Sample cheeses, charcuterie, regional specialities and artisan food products selected for their quality and origin.
• Direct conversations with producers — A rare chance to ask questions, learn about winemaking practices and find bottles to add to your cellar.
• Surprises and animations — The organisers have promised several special activities throughout the weekend.
