The Bordeaux Wine Festival : unique drone shows

In 2023, the Bordeaux Wine Festival unveiled a major new feature: a ballet of drones performed over two evenings to surprise and amaze locals and visitors alike. On the Friday and Saturday evenings, the public enjoyed extraordinary shows from the left bank of the Garonne river. In 2024, a new show will take place on Friday 28th and Saturday 29th !

A unique tailor-made drone show

This was one of the great novelties of this 2023 edition: 500 drones illuminated the skies of Bordeaux during two evening shows on Friday 23 and Saturday 24 June.

This creation was conceived and designed for the Bordeaux Wine Festival to promote Bordeaux wines and biodiversity.

The flight of drones performed, to music, a choreograph that can be seen from the Wine Festival site on the left bank, where access was free. This festive and innovative performance was nonetheless respectful of the environment as it leaves no residue behind, leaves the site perfectly intact, and induces a recycling of the drones' batteries (each device has a life span of 400 flights).
