It's an anticipated event taking place this weekend at Lavardac in Lot-et-Garonne. From Saturday 9 to Sunday 10 November 2024, the 3rd edition of the wine and local products fair will gather 18 independent winegrowers and exhibitors who will offer to discover culinary names and flavors coming from all over France.

18 appellations represented by independent winegrowers

With more than 1,000 registered visitors, the last two editions of the wine fair were a great success.

This year again, visitors will be able to discover wines from the four corners of Franceas well as culinary specialties. The president of Actes'47, Julien Bidan, confirmed the presence of 18 independent winegrowers. “This year we will again have 18 appellations represented by independent winegrowers.”

The independent winegrower is the one who transforms his grapes into wine and ensures the vinification of his harvest himself, unlike the winegrower who produces the harvest which will then be vinified by another actor, cooperation, merchant or other.
