Alsace Wine Fair, Wine festival in Colmar, France
The Alsace Wine Fair is a festival in Colmar where regional wines are available for tasting along with food and music performances. The event spreads across an open outdoor space where visitors walk between wine stalls, food vendors, and a stage for live music.
The event started after World War II in the 1940s as a simple wine exhibition. Over time it grew into a major regional celebration that attracts thousands and combines wine tasting with entertainment.
The fair showcases wines from the Alsace region and regional food specialties that visitors can taste directly from producers. Agricultural exhibitions and local craftspeople are part of what you see and experience at the event.
The event takes place in August at an outdoor venue with ample parking available and different entry options based on the activities you want to do. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and plan to spend several hours walking around.
A highlight is the large outdoor stage with thousands of seats where well-known French and international musicians perform. This makes the fair more of a music and wine event than a simple wine tasting.
