Salon Aux Vignobles - Wines and Gastronomy

An exceptional show dedicated to wines and gastronomy

For nearly thirty years, the Salon Aux Vignobles - Vins et Gastronomie has become a major event for wine and good food lovers in Eure-et-Loir. Organized every year in October at Chartrexpo, Chartres exhibition center located on rue Jean Mermoz, this show brings together nearly 150 exhibitors: winegrowers, farmers, cheesemakers, charcuterie makers, chocolatiers, confectioners, and food artisans from all regions of France. The event is orchestrated by GL Events Exhibitions, a recognized specialist in wine and gastronomy shows across France.

Meeting winegrowers and producers

The heart of the Salon Aux Vignobles beats to the rhythm of tastings and direct meetings with producers. Visitors can stroll through the aisles to discover French vineyards: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Rhône Valley, Loire, Alsace, Languedoc, Champagne, and many other appellations are represented. Each winegrower offers commented tastings of their vintages, allowing amateurs and connoisseurs alike to refine their palates and build their cellar for the holiday season. Producers of foie gras, aged cheeses, artisanal charcuterie, olive oils, honeys, and other delicacies complete this gourmet offering.

A French terroir in the spotlight

Beyond the major vineyards, the show highlights lesser-known terroirs and passionate producers who perpetuate ancestral know-how. Tasting workshops, food and wine pairing advice, and culinary demonstrations punctuate the three days of the show. Visitors can buy directly from producers, benefiting from show prices and the guarantee of complete traceability. The friendly atmosphere of Chartrexpo, easily accessible by car or public transport via the Filibus line, makes it a warm and family-friendly event.

An event rooted in the Chartres landscape

With over 10,000 visitors each edition, the Salon Aux Vignobles has established itself as one of the highlights of the Chartres autumn. It attracts both local residents and visitors from neighboring departments, seduced by the quality and diversity of the exhibitors. This show actively contributes to the gastronomic influence of Chartres and Eure-et-Loir, by offering an exceptional showcase for the artisans and winegrowers who make French culinary heritage so rich.
