I tell you about it every year, because it’s one of those Parisian events that brings me the most joy. The 83rd edition of the Montmartre Grape Harvest Festival is back to enchant Paris from October 5th to 9th this week.
This beautiful Parisian autumn event highlights a neighborhood, its history, and its wine production through a festive and friendly moment.
Sponsored this year by Camélia Jordana, who lives in the 18th arrondissement, this 2016 Grape Harvest Festival will be themed around Liberty and will offer a rich and varied program mixing music, words, exhibitions, gastronomy, and of course, oenology.
On the program: exhibitions, cinema, choirs, lectures, concerts, open stages, street performances, and balls!
Melle Bon Plan’s little selection:
- A tour of the vineyard of the Clos de Montmartre and a tasting of the solidarity rosé produced by the Clos (by reservation).
