Aux Vignobles! Le Mans 2026: wine and food fair at the Centre des Expositions

Aux Vignobles! returns to the Le Mans Centre des Expositions for its landmark 20th edition, a well-established fixture for lovers of French wine and artisan food. Over three days, roughly one hundred producers and craftspeople from wine regions across the country present their bottles, cheeses, charcuterie, chocolates, teas and other specialities directly to visitors. The format mixes tasting with direct sales: each exhibitor walks you through their production process and lets you sample before buying, with producer-level pricing for every budget. Expect labels from Bordeaux, Burgundy, Alsace, Provence, the Loire and the South-West, alongside Champagnes and fortified wines. Opening hours split across Friday 13 November (5 pm to 9 pm), Saturday 14 (10 am to 8 pm) and Sunday 15 (10 am to 6 pm). Admission is €5 at the door, free for under-18s and free when downloaded online. On-site bar and food service, free parking and a show catalogue are available. If you are travelling in from outside Le Mans, staying near the venue on avenue du Parc des Expositions — easily reached via the D323 and bus lines 5 and 10 — lets you enjoy the fair without relying on a car at the end of the day.
