The "Salon des Vins des Vignerons Indépendants" is an annual wine fair held in Bordeaux, specifically at the Parc des Expositions. It serves as a showcase for the diversity and quality of French wines and spirits produced by independent winemakers. The event is organized by the Vignerons Indépendants de France, an organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the independence of small and medium-sized wineries. The abbreviation "Salon des Vins" reflects the fair's focus on wine and its traditional salon atmosphere, offering visitors an intimate and detailed insight into the world of wine. During the fair, which typically takes place in spring, visitors from various industries, particularly the wine and spirits sector, can discover lesser-known appellations and establish direct contact with winemakers. At the heart of the fair is the presentation of a wide range of products and services from the wine and spirits industry. Visitors will find an extensive selection of wines from independent winemakers representing different wine regions such as Alsace, Bordeaux, Burgundy-Beaujolais, Languedoc-Roussillon, Provence-Corsica, Southwest-Armagnac, Loire Valley-Vendée, and Rhône Valley. Wine tastings are also available, where experts teach the art of wine appreciation. To complement the tasting experience, stalls offer a variety of food products, including cured meats, foie gras, and cheese. The fair also highlights the strong connection between France and its winemaking culture by showcasing regional diversity. A particular highlight is the prestigious wine tasting competition, where consumers act as jurors and award nearly 1,600 medals.
