Autumn gathers a number of professional gatherings for wine and beer in northern France; in 2026 one of those takes place in Dunkerque. The event is organized by Les Chevaliers du XXè Siècle and will be hosted at Le Kursaal.
Dates and venue for Salon du Vin et de la Bière de Dunkerque 2026
Salon du Vin et de la Bière de Dunkerque 2026 runs from 23 to 26 October 2026 at Le Kursaal in Dunkerque. The event communication mentions complimentary invitations and local partners such as the Ville de Dunkerque and the Communauté Urbaine de Dunkerque.
Sector focus and attendee profile
The show targets professionals in viticulture, oenology and hospitality. That places wine producers, craft brewers and horeca buyers at the center of the gathering. The official description identifies these three areas as the primary audience.
Preparing B2B prospecting at the fair
- Objectives by contact type
- Viticulture and oenology. Bring technical sheets and vintage information; emphasize traceability and tasting profiles relevant to professional buyers.
- Craft brewers. Prepare format and logistics data and present pairing options for foodservice.
- Hospitality buyers. Summarize commercial terms, lead times and point of sale materials.
- Materials and logistics
- Clear, compact documentation speeds decisions on the floor.
- Sampling and demos. If offering tastings, organize portions and supporting materials to keep flows smooth.
- Meeting plan
- Identify priority prospects before the fair and propose time slots at your stand. The aim is to convert first contacts into follow-up tastings or trial orders.
These steps reflect the professional nature of the salon and help focus effort on relevant buyers.
Organizer and local context
The event appears under the activities of Les Chevaliers du XXè Siècle, an association that runs several manifestations at Le Kursaal, including events such as Le Temps des Mets. Local institutional support is referenced in the organizer’s communications.
Practical recommendations for exhibitors
- Stand setup. Confirm dimensions and access with Le Kursaal to properly display kegs, bottles and hospitality equipment.
- Pre-show communications. Use email and professional networks to invite regional buyers and highlight tasting schedules and stand location on the venue plan.
- Follow-up readiness. Complement commercial proposals with technical documentation and clear post-fair contact paths.
A concise recommendation: prepare commercial materials and meeting agendas ahead of build-up to maximize time in the hall. For venue plans, schedules and participation terms consult the official site at http://www.chevaliers-dunkerque.fr where the organizer posts logistical details.
