Éric Dusfourd: 'The Wine Festival is the reward for the daily work of the winegrowers'

Set up between the Sunday market and the Foire aux plants, the event confirmed its place in the local calendar, attracting nearly 2,000 visitors, mixing loyal residents and passing tourists.

'This day reflects what we want to transmit: a moment of sharing, conviviality and showcasing our terroir. Seeing so many visitors, locals and tourists alike, get enthusiastic about our wines and leave with our bottles is a real satisfaction. It is also the reward for the daily work of our winegrowers,' highlighted Éric Dusfourd, director of the Cave des Vignerons Londais.

'The success of this festival bears witness to the deep attachment to our territory and its know-how. It is also the result of a collective commitment between the winegrowers, the municipality (with the invaluable help of the technical service and the cultural service) and all local actors. We will continue to animate and promote these initiatives which contribute to the dynamism of the La Londe terroir,' added Olivier Devictor, president of the winegrowers' association.

Throughout the day, wine lovers discovered and tasted the wines of the Côtes-de-Provence La Londe terroir, with particular attention paid to the new vintage. The winegrowers, passionate and available, shared their know-how and their attachment to this unique terroir, offering a warm and authentic experience. Commercial success was there, as many visitors left with a few precious bottles, offered with a discount of at least 10%.

Finally, thanks also go to local elected officials for their constant support, and in particular to the mayor, François de Canson, whose involvement alongside the local winegrowers remains unwavering. As he likes to recall: 'La Londe is a terroir blessed by the gods, a harmonious balance between hills and the Méditerranée, which gives its wines a remarkable identity.'
