Foire aux Vins du Grand-Pressigny

Foire aux Vins et Produits du Terroir du Grand-Pressigny

The Foire aux Vins et Produits du Terroir du Grand-Pressigny is an annual event held every last Sunday of April in this charming village in southern Touraine, overlooked by the remains of its medieval castle. Organized by the Confrérie du Grand-Pressigny, this fair brings together local producers and artisans centered around wine and gastronomy.

A historic fair

With over 40 editions to its name, the Foire aux Vins du Grand-Pressigny is one of the oldest events in southern Touraine. The 41st edition took place in 2024, attesting to the longevity and popularity of this event. Each year, dozens of exhibitors set up in the village hall and the village streets to offer their products.

Wines from all regions

The fair showcases a wide variety of wines from multiple appellations: Anjou, Bordeaux, Bourgueil, Chinon, Cognac, Montlouis-sur-Loire, and Touraine. Winemakers present their vintages, offer tastings, and share their passion with visitors. It's an opportunity to discover various estates and compare terroirs in a friendly atmosphere.

Local products

Beyond wines, the fair offers a wide range of quality regional products: honeys, spices, vanilla, terrines, sausages, goat cheeses — including the famous Sainte-Maure de Touraine — and market garden produce. The artisans present showcase the richness and diversity of the Touraine terroir and neighboring regions.

Flea market and conviviality

The fair is accompanied by a flea market, adding a dimension of treasure hunting and discovery to the event. Visitors can stroll through the village streets, explore the stalls, and enjoy the warm atmosphere of this day that brings together locals and visitors around the pleasures of local produce.
