The Foire de Nantes fills the Beaujoire halls each April, its Vins et gastronomie section stacked with cheese, charcuterie, champagne and craft beer.

Salon Aux Vignobles brings 190 growers and producers to the Beaujoire park in Nantes each November, from Loire whites to charcuterie and chocolate.

Serbotel is the Nantes trade fair for the food professions, four October days of chef competitions and culinary shows held at the Beaujoire park.

Salon Vinomédia gathers independent growers at the Fleuriaye congress centre in Carquefou, on the edge of Nantes, for three October days of tasting.

Fouace et Muscadet en fête takes over La Haie-Fouassière outside Nantes for a September weekend of fouace bakers, oyster bars and Muscadet growers.
