Salon des Vins de Loire 2027 in Angers: where to stay

The Salon des Vins de Loire is the annual gathering of the Loire Valley wine trade. Over two days, Angers Parc Expo hosts around 300 exhibitors covering the region's four flagship areas: Pays Nantais, Anjou-Saumur, Touraine and Centre-Loire. The fair is built for business: producers, distributors, importers, sommeliers, hospitality buyers and specialist press come together to negotiate, discover new releases and track the styles that define the Loire, from crisp whites and rosés to age-worthy reds. Beyond the trade floor, the event includes free-tasting zones, the Chenin Fan Zone, the Palais des Ligers and the Concours des Ligers, an annual competition recognising the best wines of the valley. Wine tourism activities round out the programme, with visits and experiences across Loire vineyards. Angers makes a practical base for the fair: staying near the venue or in the city centre keeps travel short and leaves time to explore the local food and heritage between appointments.
