A look back at the 2022 Bordeaux Wine Festival

With conviviality as the key word, the 2022 Bordeaux Wine Festival stretched to the Bordeaux metropolis during the Avant-Première events. With these events and the famous Wine Route on the quayside, this edition took the participants on a musical, gustatory and authentic experience, lived in a 100% sustainable way with family or friends. Here is a look back at a committed edition full of surprises.

The Avant-Première events | 2022 Edition

The year 2022 brought the launch of the Bordeaux Wine Festival "Avant-Premiere events". The idea? Offering wine and gastronomy lovers a new vision of the finest products from Nouvelle-Aquitaine, along with a new way of tasting wine!

The date was therefore set for wine and regional gastronomy professionals. Between restaurant owners, cellar men, wine merchants and wine growers, wine was available in all its forms, to the delight of the participants.

The 2022 Bordeaux Wine Festival Avant-Premiere events also included original tastings in unique places! Bordeaux wines, mixed with the music of local artists from the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, in famous places around the city of Bordeaux!
