Aux Vignobles! Angers 2026: where to stay by the Parc des Expositions

The 32nd edition of Aux Vignobles! returns to Angers with a showcase of 135 producers and artisans from every French wine region. Over three days, the Parc des Expositions in Angers hosts tastings and direct sales covering Bordeaux, Burgundy, Alsace, Provence, the Loire and Champagne, alongside a curated line-up of artisan foods: chocolate, tea, charcuterie, cheese and preserves. The fair is built around meet-the-maker encounters, with each stand explaining how the products are made and offering grower-direct pricing for every budget. Expect organic, hand-crafted and appellation wines alongside lesser-known estates worth discovering. Both casual visitors and trade buyers looking to expand their supplier network are welcome. Facilities include an on-site bar and food area, free parking and a complimentary show catalogue. Tasting requires an INAO glass, available at the entrance for €2, or visitors can bring their own. Angers, the historic capital of Anjou and gateway to the Loire Valley, makes a convenient base for pairing the fair with a wine-tourism break. The venue sits just off exit 15 of the A87, a few minutes from the city centre, and the area offers a wide range of accommodation for every stay.
