The Balade du Primeur, a not-to-be-missed event for wine lovers!

The 3rd Tuesday in November is a rendezvous for wine and food lovers. For over 30 years, winegrowers and restaurateurs have been inviting visitors to taste the new wines of the previous year during the Balade du Primeur.
It’s a moment of pleasure and conviviality where the terroir and know-how of the winegrowers and the men and women who bring it to life are showcased.

The Primeurs have been held for over 200 years, initiated by the English and reserved exclusively for the wine trade. It is only since the 1980s that private customers have been able to enjoy the privilege of discovering the en primeur wines. Here, the adventure began in 1993: we’ve been celebrating new wines for 30 years now…

An opening evening on the Place Mallet, in the centre of Bagnols-sur-Cèze

The festivities kick off on 20 November at 6.30pm on the Place Mallet in Bagnols-sur-Cèze.

Organised by the “Côtes du Rhône rive droite” association in collaboration with winegrowers and restaurateurs, you’ll be able to taste the best wines and more.

Buy your tasting glass bearing the event logo and set off to discover the precious nectar.

It’s an exceptional event, with 21 wineries and domains presenting their first wines of the year, and DJ Baba Music providing the musical backdrop. Each winemaker will be able to showcase his or her skills and work!

The evening is a great way to get local residents, winegrowers and wine lovers together for a friendly, festive evening.

A weekend of open days at wineries, cellars and shops where winemakers and producers can offer their products.

On 22 and 23 November, 21 cellars, estates and châteaux will be opening their doors to you. Dinners, tastings, vineyard walks, markets, local produce, tours…. each estate organises this friendly, festive event in its own way….
