Bordeaux Fête le Vin 2027
Five days of wine celebrations on Bordeaux’s Garonne quays, alongside a tall ships race in 2027.
What happens
Bordeaux Fête le Vin takes place on the Garonne quays in the historic Port de la Lune. Pavilions representing Bordeaux appellations line the river: visitors buy a tasting pass with a glass and sample wines at the different pavilions. The Bordeaux Wine Council, CIVB, cancelled the 2026 festival to focus on the 2027 edition. It coincides with the start of The Tall Ships Races 2027, when more than 40 historic vessels will gather in Bordeaux’s port before sailing to A Coruña and Sines.
Bordeaux hotels are booked early for these dates. The festival fits well with a wine tour of the Médoc, Saint-Émilion and Bordeaux itself.
