The wine and gastronomy fair opens this weekend at Chartrexpo

For three days, from Friday 22 to Sunday 24 October, at Chartrexpo, thousands of visitors will be able to taste the wines and culinary specialties.

The 24th edition of Wine and gastronomy fair will welcome 120 exhibitors including 13 new ones.

“All the producers design their products, they have their hands in the ground. They operate land with an area of ​​20 to 30 hectares. “

This influx of small producers is a good thing because the public would be more and more sensitive to the argument of local production. “People want to know what they are buying. At the show, they will be able to taste the products, drink the wines and discuss with the winegrowers and producers and learn about their methods before buying, ”recalls the organizer.

The local, the trend in the spotlight

The natural will also be on the program since twelve wine growers have the organic label and eight have the High Environmental Value certification. It ensures that the practices exerted on the farm reduce the pressure on the environment.
