La Fête des Vins de Chablis (the Chablis Wine Festival) will be held October 21 and 22.  Wine aficionados, connoisseurs, professionals, and the general public come together in the heart of the village to celebrate the new vintage.

Since the first event in 1949, the Chablis Wine Festival has constantly evolved to offer an ever more festive and convivial event, with numerous tastings and get-togethers with the professionals of Chablis and Auxerrois wine. This 75th anniversary is the chance to enjoy a weekend of discovery and activities.

The Chablis Marathon, for the fourth time, will take place in parallel with La Fête des Vins, on Saturday, with races for all ages.
