This year, 44 winemakers from the appellation are gathering at the port of Bandol to present over 100 vintages for tasting and sale. The event, held as the year-end holidays approach, promises a weekend of discovery, encounters, and conviviality in an exceptional setting.
The program for these two festive days includes musical entertainment with a DJ set on Saturday evening, "Banquet" style winemaker street food, a merchants' lottery, and workshops for the whole family.
The press conference to present this new edition was held Friday morning at the "Caves de la Voûte" on Zannier island of Bendor. Attendees included Franck Bertoncini, Mayor of Bandol, Pierre Luciano, President of Sud Sainte Baume Agglomération, Philippe Saint-André, former French rugby player and coach, patron of this edition, Pascal Coureit, new President of Les Vins de Bandol, and Olivier Colombano, Director of Vins de Bandol, accompanied by their teams, partners, and winemakers.
Tasting kits are already available for pre-sale at Bandoltourisme, at the Œnothèque des Vins de Bandol, and online at www.fete-des-vinsdebandol.fr. Entry is free for non-tasting visitors and children.
