Les Soirées thématiques du Salon des Vins de Loire

The Loire Valley Wine Trade Fair is an irreplaceable medium of communication and marketing for
Loire Valley Wines. But this business event is famous for its conviviality found both in the Trade Fair's aisles and at the events organised outside the Trade Fair.

The prestigious evening programmes at the Loire Valley Wine Trade Fair are also necessary meeting places in the context of international wine marketing.

• Gala Evening Programme, "Sommeliers and Sommellerie in the Limelight", Monday, February 4
• Interloire Evening Programme, "Anjou-Villages Brissac and Coteaux de l'Aubance 2006", Sunday, February 3

Monday, February 4 - 8 p.m., Centre de congrès-Angers

To end this first day of the Trade Fair in a convivial atmosphere full of surprises, sign up for the Gala Evening Programme, organised by the Loire Valley Wine Trade Fair and the Interprofessional Committees.

This much looked forward to event allows us to welcome the hundred or so journalists at the Trade Fair, the buyers, as well as the Trade Fair exhibitors, accompanied by their clients and colleagues in an extraordinary atmosphere.

For 2008, the theme for the evening is… "Sommeliers and Sommellerie in the Limelight", coinciding with the 20th edition of the competition "Best Trainee Sommelier in Loire Valley Wines". What could be more natural than extending this anniversary edition with an event where not only is pride of place given to renowned sommeliers, in partnership with the French Sommellerie Association, but also the organisers behind this gala evening. By selecting the wines to perfectly complement the dishes proposed, and by presenting and explaining the wines at each table, they will share their expertise and above all their passion, for one evening only, in honour of Loire Valley wines.
