The Grand Tasting Pro 2026
Le Grand Tasting Pro 2026 returns to Paris on Monday 13 April 2026 for its annual day of professional encounters. Organised by Bettane+Desseauve — France's most authoritative wine media and expert network — this exclusive gathering is strictly reserved for trade professionals: sommeliers, wine merchants, restaurateurs, importers, and buyers.
While the public-facing Grand Tasting consumer edition takes place each November at the Carrousel du Louvre, the Pro edition is held in spring and operates on a different register entirely. Entry is by accreditation only. The focus is on direct encounters between buyers and producers — from established estates to emerging names — all pre-selected by the Bettane+Desseauve editorial team, whose annual guide remains the most respected critical reference in French wine.
The 2026 edition takes place at the Pavillon Wagram, one of Paris's most prestigious event venues, located steps from the Arc de Triomphe.
What to do at the Grand Tasting Pro?
• Taste a curated selection of wines pre-selected by the Bettane+Desseauve team — iconic estates and carefully chosen emerging producers
• Meet winemakers and brand representatives directly, with time for focused one-to-one conversations
• Discover new references to enrich your wine list, buying calendar or cellar offer
• Network with trade peers — sommeliers, wine merchants, restaurateurs and buyers from across France and beyond
• Evaluate a full day's worth of references under professional, structured conditions
