Fête des Grands Vins de Bourgogne 2026 in Beaune

The Fête des Grands Vins de Bourgogne returns in 2026 for its 153rd edition, still holding its title as the longest-running wine event in the region. Over two days, the Palais des Congrès in Beaune becomes a meeting point where CAVB growers pour the full range of Burgundy appellations under one roof. Far from a closed trade show, the fair is designed as a tasting open to wine lovers as well: each stand invites visitors to explore the diversity of Burgundy's vineyards and compare the freshly bottled recent vintages. The organisers proudly keep a historic format that has survived more than a century and a half without losing its educational spirit. The programme closes with the Paulée, a traditional Burgundian meal that requires advance booking and seats guests alongside the growers themselves. As local custom dictates, each diner brings a bottle to share with the table. Beaune, the wine capital of the Côte d'Or, offers a wide choice of hotels next to the venue, with straightforward access from the A6 motorway and the TGV stations at Dijon and Le Creusot.
