The festival is kid-friendly, as long as an adult is willing to be responsible for them.
A Magical Drone Show on Two Evenings
The 2023 edition of Bordeaux Wine Festival introduced a major new feature: a drone ballet performed over two evenings to surprise locals and visitors. Spectators witnessed drones, taking the appearance of wine glasses and wine bottles, which set to music, performed a choreography visible from the Wine Festival site.
This magic spectacle has been seen all around the globe through viral videos on socials and will return for the 2024 edition! We are very excited to see what this year will be about!
Whether you’re a local or a visitor, the festival provides a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich heritage and culture of Bordeaux. Don’t miss out on this convivial wine event: mark your calendar and get ready for Bordeaux Fête Le Vin, from June 27 to 30, 2024!
