Bandol Wine Festival

Bandol Wine Festival 2025

On December 6th and 7th, 2025, the port of Bandol once again hosted the major annual festival of the AOC Bandol. Lovers of Provençal wines were able to meet the winegrowers from the appellation's estates and cellars directly, taste the entire production—mourvèdre reds, sunny rosés, and aromatic whites—and leave with their favorite bottles for the year-end holidays.

In an exceptional Mediterranean setting, between the blue sea and the garrigue hills, the festival brought together the players of the Bandol vineyard: family estates, large properties, and cooperative cellars stood side-by-side to share their passion and expertise. A local producer market complemented the gastronomic offerings, featuring cheeses, artisanal charcuterie, PDO olive oils, and Varois specialties.

Culinary events and commented tastings allowed visitors to better understand the specificities of the Bandol terroir and the characteristics of the mourvèdre grape, the heart of the appellation. The 2025 edition confirmed this festival's place among the essential wine events in Provence and the Var.
