Burgundy wine producers return to Beaune in November to present the breadth of regional appellations. The 2026 edition marks the 153rd staging of an event organized by the CAVB that assembles appellations and producers under one roof.
Dates and venue in Beaune
Fête des Grands Vins de Bourgogne 2026 runs on 13 and 14 November at the Palais des Congrès in Beaune. The Confederation of Appellations and Vignerons of Bourgogne manages ticketing, the on-site plan and the official wine catalogue distributed for the fair.
What the 2026 edition includes and the Paulée
The program centers on tasting the region’s appellations in a consolidated space. The event closes with the Paulée a traditional meal held by reservation that invites shared bottles and convivial exchange between producers and guests. The official wine catalogue and the venue map help visitors locate producers and organize tastings inside the Palais des Congrès.
Exhibitor profile and wines on show
All Burgundian appellations are represented by vignerons who bring recent vintages for public tasting. The catalogue allows visitors to filter producers by appellation and production type, making it possible to focus tastings on specific terroirs or grape varieties.
How to prepare commercial prospecting at Fête des Grands Vins de Bourgogne 2026
