The Foire Internationale et Gastronomique de Dijon (Dijon International and Gastronomic Fair) is one of France’s largest and most celebrated food events, drawing over 150,000 visitors each autumn to the historic capital of Burgundy. For nearly a century, this fair has showcased regional specialties, fine wines, and culinary innovations from around the world, with hundreds of exhibitors, live cooking demos, and a rotating guest country of honor. It’s a paradise for gourmands, where mustard, cheese, charcuterie, and pastries share the spotlight with international cuisine and cutting-edge gastronomy in a festive, flavorful atmosphere.
Free 30-min consult. Weekend in Dijon or a Burgundy food & wine route—we’ll plan tastings & chef demos, time at the guest pavilions, and a walkable stay near the fairgrounds.
