The annual meeting place for organic wines
From January 26 to 28, 2026, the Montpellier Exhibition Center will host the annual Millésime Bio , the world's leading trade fair for organic wines and spirits . Created and organized by SudVinBio since 1993 , this event has established itself as the largest international marketplace exclusively dedicated to organic wines and spirits. In 2026, more than 1,400 exhibitors from 15 countries will showcase over 10,000 certified products. This inspiring event attracts an exclusive audience of professionals: wine merchants, sommeliers, restaurateurs, importers, and buyers from both specialized and general retailers. In keeping with all previous editions, Millésime Bio remains a benchmark for the regional and international organic sector. In a context marked by economic, climate, and geopolitical tensions, the fair remains a strategic space for forging lasting business relationships. It is also a fertile ground for measuring developments in the organic wine market: the rise of alcohol-free or low-alcohol wines, and the diversification of producer profiles and regions represented.
A winegrowers' fair reserved for professionals
Millésime Bio continues its founding principle: a trade fair designed by winemakers , for winemakers . All exhibitors benefit from an identical stand format , regardless of their size or resources. This results in a consistent presentation that promotes objective discovery and tasting without advertising distractions. This philosophy is also supported by a constant focus on selecting professional visitors, guaranteeing the value of the discussions. The 2026 edition introduces several notable changes: exhibitors will be grouped by country or region to streamline the layout and better define thematic areas, including those dedicated to biodynamic winemaking ( Biodyvin & Demeter ) and the register of certified organic " no low " wines. A significant innovation for 2026 is the addition of a Millésime Bio outdoor café, providing a welcoming and professional atmosphere for extending discussions into the evening. In parallel, the Millésime Bio Forum hosts conferences and masterclasses addressing the ecological, economic, and societal challenges facing the industry. Millésime Bio remains a unique fair, designed as a place for collective reflection as much as for commercial exchanges.
Occitanie, the organic vineyard par excellence
While Millésime Bio has achieved international reach, its regional roots remain its defining characteristic. Occitanie, the leading wine-producing region in France and Europe , is also the largest organic vineyard in France : over 55,000 hectares of vines are cultivated organically, representing nearly 35% of the national organic acreage. This regional distinctiveness is rooted in a long history, championed by generations of winemakers committed since the 1970s to practices that respect the soil, water, and biodiversity. Millésime Bio is more than just a trade fair: it reflects a pioneering regional territory that has successfully combined environmental standards, wine quality, and a well-organized economic sector. At a time when agricultural models are being challenged by international agreements and questioned by economic adversities, the 2026 edition reminds us that organic farming, far from being a niche market, is one of the driving forces of the societal and viticultural future.
