A History Born from the Post-War Era

The Colmar Wine Fair finds its origins in 1948, in the context of economic and social reconstruction that characterised the post-war years in Alsace. This first edition, modest compared to the scale the event would later achieve, met a local desire to give Alsatian wine production renewed visibility.

Continuous Growth Towards Today's Major Event

Over the decades, the Colmar Wine Fair has continued to grow in scale and reputation, gradually becoming one of France's most important wine events.

Tasting at the Heart of the Experience

Tasting naturally forms the heart of the experience offered to visitors of the Colmar Wine Fair. Each producer's stand offers a discovery of their range.

A Full-Fledged Cultural and Festive Event

Beyond its strictly wine-related dimension, the Colmar Wine Fair has gradually been enriched with an ambitious cultural and festive programme that largely contributes to its popular success.

Visiting the Colmar Wine Fair - Practical Tips

  • Best time to visit: favour weekdays for a calmer experience
  • For serious enthusiasts: plan a full day
  • Combine with: a discovery of Colmar itself
  • For families: numerous accompanying activities
