The world capital of Wine holds its wine festival 28 June 2012 to 1 July 2012.
This festival, organised by the town of Bordeaux, is an opportunity for fans of fine wine, good food and culture to enjoy a great festive moment. It will be a celebration of the senses on the largest square in Europe, right on the banks of the Garonne.
The riverbanks and the Esplanade des Quinconces will welcome more than 300 000 gastronomers and culture-vultures throughout this four-day event.
The festival spreads over 12 acres right in the heart of Bordeaux itself. Visitors will thus be able to sample vintage Bordeaux and other local wines, and also meet local producers, visit wine-producing chateaux and discover the Gironde area as a whole.
With over 400 000 samples, hundreds of visitors in the fields, initiations to proper wine-tasting technique and 40 000 people every evening, you’ll be so busy having fun you won’t want to leave! Come and join in with this enthusiastic celebration of wine (to be enjoyed responsibly, of course!)…
