L'occasion de découvrir des vins bios. Midi Libre – EVA TISSOT

Around forty partner establishments highlight their references from organic farming. Many gifts to be won at the end of this "urban route"…

The Organic Wine Festival is in full swing in Montpellier alongside Millésime Bio until February 3. While the show which is being held at the Parc Expos until Wednesday is reserved for professionals, the Festival is dedicated to the general public. To participate, nothing could be simpler. You go to one of the partner establishments, you have three checkout passes and you validate your participation in the Organic Wine Festival by scanning the establishment's QR Code. A gift awaits you at the Tourist Office which you are invited to collect on site. 

Organic wines on the menu

This event mainly aims to (re)discover organic wines at the forty participating businesses: wine bars, wine merchants, restaurants and delicatessens. They all highlight the organic vintages that appear on their menu. At Trinquefougasse O'Sud, for example, wines from organic farming represent well over half of the references. Always offered for tasting before sitting at the table, the wines are described by the staff, some of whom are trained in sommelier training. Even if during this period, the manager, Damien Albouy recognizes that the educational effort is not necessary: ​​  "90% of our customers at the moment are winegrowers. They come by tram from the Parc Expos." Sunday evening, the Vinifilles organized their evening in the West, in Saint-Jean-de-Védas. The association, which brings together winegrowers from across the region, is more than 80% organic. The region remains the leading organic vineyard in the world. 

To close the event, a conference is offered at the Corum at 7 p.m. in the Salon du Belvédère at the Corum. The theme: biodiversity, soils, climate… wine: do you need to have the #bio reflex ?
