A flagship event on the international calendar
Run by Vinexposium, Wine Paris has grown into one of the most influential events in the industry. This year, more than 63,000 trade visitors and 6,500 exhibitors gathered under one roof, reflecting the fair’s increasingly international profile.
But the significance of Wine Paris goes beyond attendance figures. It is where long-established estates meet ambitious newcomers, where export markets are negotiated, and where the strategic direction of the sector often begins to take shape. For three days, the industry’s commercial and cultural conversations converge in one place.
A hub for the KEDGE Wine School network
For KEDGE Wine School, the event provided a natural meeting point for its community. Current students, recent graduates and alumni now working across the sector gathered at the school’s stand, reconnecting and exchanging insights drawn from their respective professional paths.
The fair also offered students valuable exposure to the realities of the trade: an opportunity to engage directly with partners, observe negotiations in motion and expand their professional networks in a genuinely international environment.
During the exhibition, David Biraud, Head of KEDGE Wine School, led a masterclass dedicated to the ageing potential of the great white wines of the Union des Crus Classés de Graves. Through a structured tasting, he explored the complexity and character of these terroirs, highlighting the technical rigour and sensory precision required in today’s wine professions.
Beyond the exhibition halls, students from the MSc Wine & Hospitality Management and MSc Wine & Spirits Management programmes took part in a prestigious event at the Grand Palais alongside Primum Familiae Vini (PFV). Assisting with the service of exceptional wines to leading wine families, they experienced first-hand the standards of excellence and professionalism expected at the highest levels of the industry.
Wine Paris will return from 15 to 17 February 2027.
