Salon FestiVitas

Three passions united in one place

Created in 2013, Salon FestiVitas has become over a decade the unmissable winter event for lovers of escapism and gastronomy in the Haut-Rhin region. Organized annually at the Parc Expo de Mulhouse, this unique exhibition brings together three complementary worlds under one roof: travel, wines and spirits, and gastronomy. More than 330 exhibitors welcome nearly 23,000 visitors each edition, who come seeking inspiration for their next getaways and to delight their taste buds.

A world tour without leaving Mulhouse

The Travel area of FestiVitas offers hundreds of destination ideas presented by travel agencies, tourist offices, and tour operators. Each edition highlights a guest country — the Indian Ocean for the 2026 edition — with conferences, screenings, and cultural activities that transport visitors to the four corners of the globe. Tailor-made stays, unusual getaways, and wine tourism offers allow visitors to plan their holidays with personalized advice and exclusive deals.

Exceptional wines at producer prices

The Wines, Beers, and Spirits section is the beating heart of FestiVitas. Dozens of winemakers from Alsace, Burgundy, Bordeaux, the Rhône Valley, and elsewhere offer their vintages for tasting and sale at producer prices. Enthusiasts can discover oenological gems, chat directly with producers, and build their cellar in a friendly atmosphere. The deposit-based tasting glass, provided at the entrance, accompanies visitors throughout their journey.

Gastronomy and local flavors

The Flavors area brings together local producers, food artisans, and restaurateurs who share their expertise through tastings, culinary demonstrations, and gourmet conferences. Foie gras, cheeses, chocolates, spices, olive oils, fine charcuterie, and regional specialties make up a rich and varied tasting journey. Restaurants present at the exhibition offer elaborate menus to extend the experience by dining in a festive atmosphere.

A friendly and family event

Beyond the exhibitors, FestiVitas offers a dense program of activities: nearly a hundred conferences and presentations, tasting workshops, prize draws, and meetings with tourism and gastronomy professionals. The warm and relaxed atmosphere of the exhibition makes it a family event where everyone finds something to enjoy, whether you are passionate about travel, a lover of fine wines, or simply curious about new flavors.
