But let's not forget that the Fair is, as its name suggests, primarily dedicated to wine. Tasting workshops are offered, as well as, for example, an aperitif quiz and conferences on the subject.
Among the many other activities, there are dance shows, sports activities (crossfit, cycle rally, etc.), theme nights, an off-stage for even more music, and even a pin-up show.
All the animations can be found here .
Here are some activities that will keep your toddlers busy :
- The little train , Wednesday July 30 from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m., will take them on a little tour of the agricultural park.
- Madame Confettis will be holding her face painting booth on Saturday, July 26th, Sunday, July 27th, and Wednesday, July 30th, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Plus, they'll be treated to a sculpted balloon.
- The Princess with Brushes will also have her makeup stand, every day, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. in front of the "FAV" letters. The makeup session is free.
- Every weekend and Wednesday, your little ones will be able to marvel at the musicians, dancers, and costumed artists of the big festive parades . These parades take place at 4:30 p.m. On the first Sunday, there will be a tractor parade, and on the last Sunday, a 2CV car parade. And on the same day, as part of the FAV déraille, another totally crazy parade will take place.
- On Monday, July 28, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., you can attend a demonstration of Alsatian folk dancing . An event that should appeal to both adults and children.
A rather nice new feature this year: ticket exchanges can be made directly on the official Wine Fair website. This is convenient for resellers, for whom payment is guaranteed, but also for buyers, who are guaranteed to receive their ticket (it will be a new, personalized ticket).
