The Loire Valley Wine Trade Fair returns on February 2–3, 2026, at the Parc des Expositions in Angers, France. Nestled in the heart of one of Europe’s most celebrated wine regions, Angers offers both professional focus and cultural depth. The venue lies just minutes from the medieval Château d’Angers and the historic old town, rich with Gothic architecture and vibrant local gastronomy. The fair is organized by Destination Angers, a key player in regional trade development, and supported by regional winegrowers’ associations.
Since its debut in 1987, the fair has grown into a must-attend event for the French and international wine trade. Originally created to showcase wines of the Loire, it now gathers over 300 exhibitors representing the entire region, from Muscadet to Sancerre. Every year, thousands of wine professionals—including importers, sommeliers, distributors, and journalists—gather to taste, connect, and discover the latest vintages. Over time, the fair has built a reputation for authenticity, professionalism, and a welcoming atmosphere that encourages lasting business relationships. In addition to wine tastings, the fair includes masterclasses, themed pavilions, and expert-led talks.
The 2026 edition will emphasize sustainability, organic viticulture, and evolving consumer trends. Dedicated areas will highlight organic producers, biodynamic wines, and low-intervention winemaking. Wine buyers will benefit from focused tastings, guided sessions, and one-on-one meetings with producers from across the Loire. Additionally, a curated food and wine pairing zone will showcase the region’s culinary strengths. The event continues to attract top decision-makers from Europe, North America, and Asia, making it a vital opportunity for producers aiming to expand their market. Angers, with its scenic charm and deep wine heritage, offers the perfect setting for forging new partnerships and discovering the dynamic future of Loire wines.
