The 29th Edition of the Printemps des Vins de Blaye Focuses on Discovery
The Citadel of Blaye is getting ready to host the 29th edition of the Printemps des Vins de Blaye, one of the most eagerly awaited events of the year for wine lovers and local produce enthusiasts. Nearly 100 winemakers will be there to offer tastings of their finest wines in a festive, relaxed, and decidedly hedonistic atmosphere. This new edition emphasizes a complete immersion in the world of Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux, with activities that awaken both the taste buds and the eyes.
A Friendly Festival in a UNESCO World Heritage Site
In the majestic grounds of the Citadel of Blaye, overlooking the estuary and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, this event truly comes to life. A place rich in history and charm, it transforms into a genuine wine village for two delightful days. Visitors stroll between the barrels, chat with winemakers, and dive into the art of tasting… all under a bright spring sky and surrounded by an incredibly warm atmosphere. Every corner of the Citadel becomes a stop to discover, feel, taste, and chat.

Celebrate the Wines of Our Region with the Winemakers
Beyond the free tasting with the screen-printed glass, visitors will have access to workshops to refine their palate or learn more about food and wine pairings. The idea? To create a bond between the curious and those who work the vineyards every day. That’s what the Spring of Blaye Wines is all about: a rare opportunity to meet the artisans of wine in a relaxed setting, far from overly formal salons, and to share in their passion.
River Cruises, Guided Tours, Fun for Everyone
There's no shortage of activities: boat rides on the Gironde, guided tours of the Citadel and its underground tunnels, a local producers' market, food trucks, a kids' area, concerts, and musical surprises... Everything is designed for everyone to experience their own adventure around wine. Whether you're a fan, a connoisseur, or just curious, you'll find plenty to delight your taste buds – literally.
