I tell you about it every year, because it is one of those Parisian events that brings me the most joy. The 84th edition of the Montmartre Grape Harvest Festival returns to enchant Paris (and particularly the 18th arrondissement) from October 11 to October 15, 2017.
This beautiful Parisian autumn event highlights a neighborhood, its history, and its wine production through a festive and friendly moment.
Sponsored this year by Sarah Biasini and Hugues Aufray, this 2017 Grape Harvest Festival will be placed under the theme of the Enlightenment and Portugal, its gastronomy, and its wines, offering a rich and varied program where music, literature, exhibitions, gastronomy, and of course, oenology will blend together.
Artisans and producers from five regions located in the heart of Portugal will share their expertise for five days at the foot of the Sacré-Cœur Basilica.
On the program: exhibitions, a taste trail, cinema, choirs, conferences, concerts, tastings, open stages, street performances, and balls!
Melle Bon Plan’s little selection:
- Thursday, October 12 at Les Trois Baudets (64 boulevard de Clichy, Paris 18) with Alem Fado, a unique fado concert. Before the concert, a tasting pairing food and wines from the five regions will be presented by Ana Sofia de Oliveira, a Franco-Portuguese wine consultant.
- Saturday, October 14 for the Great Montmartre Grape Harvest Parade which will welcome the joyful Portuguese intervention of the “Tuna Academica de Penafiel” from the northwest of the country.
- The Montmartre Addict events for the occasion: gallery trails, wine evenings with exceptional views, tasting workshops, and a winemaker rally.
- To close the festival, a ball dedicated to Dalida
