Vinexpo Bordeaux: Trip Planning Guide
Bordeaux, France
Going to Vinexpo Bordeaux?
One of the world's largest international wine and spirits trade fairs, held at the Bordeaux Exhibition Centre. Industry professionals gather for business meetings, tastings, and trend showcases from producers across 30+ countries. A biennial event that alternates with Bordeaux Fête le Vin.
Your trip blueprint
Trade professionals should book meetings with distributors 6 weeks prior; for serious collectors without credentials, register as a sommelier or wine educator to gain access to the final public day when producers showcase their finest reserves. The auction house previews happen off-site—check with your hotel for invitations to private château tastings during the fair.
About Bordeaux
Bordeaux is the undisputed capital of fine wine, producing some of the planet's most collectible bottles. Split by the Gironde estuary into Left Bank (Médoc, Graves) and Right Bank (Saint-Émilion, Pomerol), the region offers wildly different terroirs and styles.
