Fete des Vins de Bandol ★ 4.5
The Fete des Vins de Bandol is the appellation's winter showcase, held each first December weekend on the port of Bandol. The 2025 edition gathered 42 Bandol producers; the festival celebrates the newly released vintage and the late-released Bandol reds across an indoor and outdoor tasting setup at the quay.
Tip: Buy the commemorative tasting glass at the entrance for access to all the producer stands. The 2025 dates were 6 and 7 December, and the 2026 edition is expected on the first weekend of December.
