On 24 and 25 October 2026, the 78th Chablis Wine Festival invites you to enjoy a weekend dedicated to conviviality, discovery and celebration. In the heart of Chablis, come and celebrate the new vintage with a program packed with wine tastings, entertainment, meetings with winemakers and festive activities.

Laurie Perret and Bruno Solo, Godmother and Godfather of the 2026 Vintage
Each year, a godmother and a godfather officially inaugurate the new vintage and go on to become ambassadors for Chablis wines. This year, we are honored to welcome Laurie Perret and Bruno Solo as the patrons of the 2026 vintage.

Around Fifty Winemakers in the Heart of Chablis
Throughout the weekend, nearly 50 winemakers will welcome visitors in the center of the village to introduce them to the wines of the Chablis and Grand Auxerrois appellations. It is the perfect opportunity to taste outstanding wines, meet the producers and share their passion.
