- Many tastings are free, especially at wine merchants. Guided tastings usually cost between 20 and 100 francs, some organisers credit the amount towards a wine purchase. Premium tastings featuring rare wines can cost several hundred francs. Wine fairs usually charge 15 to 40 francs entry, some are free.

- What is the difference between a degustation and a wine fair?
- A degustation is usually a guided event with a curated selection of wines, often around a theme such as a region or grape variety. At a wine fair, many producers pour at the same time and you taste freely from stand to stand. You will find both here, just filter by type.
