Fête des Vendanges de Montmartre: Trip Planning Guide
Paris, France
Going to Fête des Vendanges de Montmartre?
Paris's beloved grape harvest festival celebrates the tiny Clos Montmartre vineyard in the 18th arrondissement. Five days of parades, concerts, fireworks, and tastings transform the hilltop neighbourhood. Despite being in Paris, it's a genuine harvest celebration — they really do pick grapes from the 2,000 vines.
Your trip blueprint
Skip the main parade crowds and head to the tiny Clos Montmartre vineyard itself during off-peak hours (early morning or late afternoon) to taste the actual harvest wine—it's rarely available outside this week. The 2,000 vines produce surprisingly complex Pinot Noir and Chardonnay blends that locals guard jealously.
About Champagne
Champagne is the world's most famous wine appellation — a strictly defined region northeast of Paris where the world's finest sparkling wines are produced. The unique combination of chalky soils, cool climate, and centuries of expertise creates wines that can't be replicated anywhere else.
