Tasting the Wines and Spirits of France

Business France India, under the tutelage of the Embassy of France in India, will welcome a French delegation of 17 wine and spirits producers for the 8th edition of the Tastin’ France event in India. These producers will showcase their products on 6^th November at the Embassy of France in Delhi, followed by a tasting in Mumbai at ProWine, on November 8th and 9th.

This year's Tastin' France India brings together renowned estates from all over France, offering Indian importers, distributors, and connoisseurs an exclusive opportunity to discover exceptional French beverages, fostering valuable business opportunities.

Attendees will experience a curated selection of wines and spirits, highlighting the rich diversity and expertise of France’s renowned vineyards and distilleries. "The partnership between India and France in the wine and spirits sector continues to strengthen, driven by a mutual appreciation for quality and craftsmanship. Tastin’ France serves as an important platform to deepen these ties, enabling Indian importers to discover the exceptional diversity of French products while promoting sustainable practices that resonate with today’s consumers. Together, we are building a vibrant trade relationship that celebrates our shared values and enriches both markets," elaborated Estelle David, Trade Commissioner of France, and Head of Business France in India.

One of the highlights of Tastin' France India would be a sensory tour of France, ranging from the emblematic regions of Burgundy and the sparkling vineyards of Champagne to the warm hillsides of Languedoc, and from the vineyards of Bordeaux to the savoury banks of the Rhône valley.

The delegation encompasses a diverse range of estates, from cooperatives representing hundreds of winegrowers to exclusive private estates and traders. Attendees can look forward to a comprehensive selection featuring Vins de France, IGP (Indication Géographique Protégée), and AOP (Appellation d'Origine Protégée).

This wide array allows for the exploration of various wine styles, including red, white, and rosé wines, as well as Champagne and spirits like Cognac, whisky and vodka, each reflecting the distinct terroir and traditions of its region. Amongst the participating companies, several brands are committed to environmental sustainability, with one estate on the verge of organic certification and another using artisanal methods to care for its soils and vines without the use of chemicals.
