Créé en 1987 par le Parc des Expositions d’Angers et les Interprofessions du Val de Loire: BIVC & InterLoire, le Salon des Vins de Loire est devenu l’une des principales manifestations viticoles européennes.

Consacré exclusivement à une région de production, la 3ème de France, ce premier rendez-vous professionnel de l’année du monde viticole, organise, pendant 3 jours, la rencontre de quelques 600 exposants du Val de Loire et près de 10.000 acheteurs français et étrangers.

Les professionnels ligériens l'ont bien compris : par la qualité des contacts qu'il génère, par le coup de projecteur qu'il donne à leur travail, le Salon des Vins de Loire constitue un vecteur de communication et d'affaires irremplaçable pour l'ensemble du vignoble et ce, tant en France que sur les marchés internationaux. Fer de lance de la production ligérienne, le Salon des Vins de Loire, à l'image de son vignoble, sait se renouveler, innover et surprendre.

Seul salon européen consacré à une région de production, le Salon des Vins de Loire 2008 poursuit son rôle de lieu d'affaires et de transactions, au travers d'un programme ambitieux, dont la ligne directrice repose sur un axe économique fort, avec la volonté de stimuler et de faciliter encore plus les échanges entre les acteurs de la filière.

Created in 1987 by the Angers Exhibition Centre and the three Loire Valley Joint-Trade Organisations:
BIVC (Interprofessional Office of Wines in Central France), InterLoire (Joint-Trade Organisation of Loire Valley Wines) and CIVN (Interprofessional Board of Nantes Wines), the Loire Valley Wine Trade Fair has become one of Europe's key wine events.

Devoted to a single wine-producing region, the 3rd largest in France, this first professional event of the year in the wine-producing world will allow, for 3 days, for approximately 600 exhibitors and 9,000 French and foreign visitors to meet.


The 20th Loire Valley Wine Fair was a definite success with 3% more visitors than in 2005. In all, there were 8792 visitors as opposed to 8473 in 2005. 13.2% were from abroad as opposed to 12.3% in 2005.
A survey conducted during the Wine fair confirmed the high level of satisfaction of visitors who gave the show an average mark of 8/10 for quality. The survey also ranked visitors motives for attending : to meet suppliers (77%), see what is new on the market (69%) and to gather information before purchasing (47%). Such was the success of the fair that 70% of visitors planned to come back in 2007.

Loire Valley industry professionals fully appreciate the quality of contacts generated by the event, and the spotlight on their work, which has made the Loire Valley Wine Fair an essential business communications tool on the French and international markets for all of the wine growing region. Spearheading production in the region, the Loire Valley Wine Fair has kept pace with the vineyards, which have succeeded in innovating and surprising their customers.
The 21st fair will be more different than ever. It will take a fresh look at the position of Loire Valley Wines on French and international markets, assess the stakes on those markets, and explore solutions to problems currently faced by the wine industry. On the menu for this year : an international survey of professional wine buyers, the launch of the 1st blog contest dedicated to wine, and a conference on wine and nutrition.
