One of our favourite wine festivals are back for its 42nd year and we’re looking forward to this year’s featured country, France! Ticket sales for public events are on sale now, so be sure to check out all the events they have lined up before they sell out.
The 2020 festival runs from February 22 to March 1 and features a range of events including winery dinners and lunches, wine seminars and our favourite, the international festival tasting! The dining experiences and seminars will fill your stomach and mind and what we love most about the international tasting room is that we always walk away with new found favourites in our arms.
This year’s International Festival Tastings will feature 163 participating wineries from around the world with 42 participating wineries from 10 regions across France. The cost of the International Festival Tasting event ranges from $95 to $115 online and with access to so many different wineries, we think the cost is worth it. Having access to so many wineries at the festival tasting makes it a unique experience that you don’t have to travel far for.
Here are a few wineries from France that we’re looking forward to checking out:
- Champagne Taittinger
- Joseph Mellot
- Laurent-Perrier
- Louis Latour
- Paul Jaboulet Aîné
- Piper-Heidsieck / Charles Heidsieck
