Printemps du Vin

Printemps du vin is a festive event held at the start of the summer season. It offers visitors the opportunity to discover the wines of Salquenen's wine producers through a series of tastings.

This celebration is also marked by the barrel race, a competition that is unique in the world. Teams of two are challenged to push and tip a large barrel as quickly as possible along a marked course in the wine village of Salquenen.
At the end of the barrel race, the Salquenen wine cellars invite you to a wine tasting with surprises. Fine wine, tasty treats and a varied afternoon in the cellars of Salquenen!
