Vignerons Indépendants Wine Fair in Mandelieu-La Napoule 2027

The Salon des Vins des Vignerons Indépendants returns to Mandelieu-La Napoule in April 2027 with three days dedicated to tasting wines poured by the winemakers themselves. Organised by Vignerons Indépendants de France, the fair brings together growers from across French wine regions in the Centre Expo Congrès, with identical stands and mixed appellations so every estate gets equal visibility. Visitors can taste the wines, talk to the people who farm the vines and bottle the cuvées, and buy directly from the producer — an approach the organisation has kept for almost fifty years. The event welcomes both the general public and trade visitors, and the entry ticket includes a tasting glass. Set on the coastline of the Golfe de Cannes, Mandelieu-La Napoule is an easy spring or autumn getaway, with beaches, the Esterel trails and straightforward access via the A8 motorway or Nice airport. The fair is one stop on the annual Vignerons Indépendants circuit, which also travels to cities such as Paris, Lyon, Lille, Reims and Strasbourg during the year.
