Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
Walking
Some central accommodation sits roughly 180 m from Forum Gambetta, so walking works well for centre-based stays. Allow 5-15 minutes depending on your hotel and the weather.
SITAC bus
SITAC operates urban routes in Calais and links the centre with the Coquelles and Cite de l'Europe zone. Buy on board or at the tourist office; services thin out in the evening.
Taxi
Chain hotels in Coquelles sit outside the centre and need a short drive or bus ride. Book a return taxi for the evening tasting slot rather than relying on street hails.
Rideshare
Uber and Bolt coverage in Calais can be thin, especially late evening and Sundays. Keep a local taxi number as backup and confirm pickup points near the venue.
Car
Calais is well connected by the A16 and A26, but central parking fills on busy event days. Consider hotel parking in Coquelles and a taxi or bus into the centre.
Regional rail
TER Hauts-de-France trains link Calais Ville with Lille and other regional points. From the station, walk or take a short taxi to the venue; confirm timetables before travel.
Ferry
Ferry arrivals at Calais port need a short taxi or bus into the centre. Allow time for passport control and port traffic, especially on peak weekends.
taxi
Approx. 1 h 15 min by car; confirm traffic and parking; The most practical northern France gateway for Calais. TGV connections from Lille Europe and Lille Flandres link to Paris and the region; from the airport, use taxi or shuttle to Lille station.
Weather
February is winter on the Channel coast: cool, windy and showery. Daytime temperatures often sit around 2-8°C, with wind chill near the seafront. Build indoor breaks into your tasting route and check the forecast 7-10 days before travel.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
EU roaming rules apply for travellers on EU SIMs; UK and non-EU visitors should check their operator's France pass. French prepaid SIMs and eSIMs are sold in Calais, but venue Wi-Fi at Forum Gambetta is not confirmed, so bring a charged power bank and download tickets offline. Ask COTEO about exhibitor internet if you need live stand demos.
Ride-hailing
Taxis
Public transit
Car rentals
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Greeting
Say bonjour before asking for a taste; a handshake or polite nod is standard at producer stands. A short introduction and interest in the appellation go a long way.
Tasting etiquette
Use the spittoon, take small pours and ask before photographing labels or stands. Spitting is normal at a French wine salon and is expected if you plan to taste across many producers.
Language
Many exhibitors speak some English, but French terms for appellation, cepage and millesime help the conversation. Speak slowly and ask producers to write down vineyard names you want to remember.
Purchasing
Direct sales are common; ask about shipping, duty and carry limits before buying a full case. Some producers may offer mixed cases or hold bottles for later collection.
Dress and scent
Smart-casual is fine; avoid strong perfume or cologne because it masks the wine. Wear layers for the venue and a waterproof outer layer for the walk between hotels and Forum Gambetta.
Timing
Late morning and late afternoon are often busiest; go early for quieter conversations with vignerons. If you want to talk allocation or export, ask for a less busy moment rather than the peak lunch rush.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Destination: LIL
Book flights to Paris CDG, Lille LIL or Brussels BRU rather than Calais-Dunkerque CQF, which has no scheduled commercial service in the available material. February half-term and ferry traffic can push up fares and hotel rates; compare rail and ferry options from London and Brussels before committing. Allow a 2-3 hour ground transfer from CDG and confirm the last train or bus to Calais.
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.

Ride-hail: Uber and Bolt coverage in Calais can be thin, especially late evening and on Sundays. Local taxis are the safer bet; ask your hotel to book a return car from Forum Gambetta, or keep a taxi number saved. Confirm the fare and payment method before setting off for Coquelles.
Public transit: SITAC operates urban buses in Calais and links the centre with the Coquelles/Cite de l'Europe hotel and shopping zone. Buy a single ticket on board or at the tourist office; approximate fare EUR 1.50-2.00, confirm current tariffs. Services thin out in the evening, so check the last bus before a late tasting.
Parking: Parking is available in the Forum Gambetta venue district, but February rates and capacity were not published in the available material. Confirm with the venue or COTEO, arrive early on the first day, and consider hotel parking in Coquelles with a taxi or bus into the centre if central spaces are full.
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: February 2027
Temperature: Approx. 2-8°C (35-46°F) by day; near 0-3°C at night. Wind chill near the Channel can make it feel colder.
Seasonality: February is a wet and windy month on the Channel coast; expect frequent showers and strong sea breezes. Rain can arrive quickly, so plan indoor breaks and waterproof layers rather than relying on a dry forecast.
Packing: Waterproof jacket with hood, warm mid-layers, scarf and gloves, sturdy shoes, compact umbrella, tasting notebook, reusable water bottle, ID and a tote for bottles. Smart-casual is fine; avoid strong perfume or cologne.
Plan your trip
Best day to visit: Day 2 (mid-show)
Mid-show days at Salon Des Vignerons Et Des Terroirs 2027 usually combine full exhibitor attendance with scheduled B2B meetings, before early pack-down on the final day.
14 days out: Confirm the 2027 dates, public hours and EUR 3 entry policy on salon-des-vignerons.com; ask whether a tasting glass is included.
Book a refundable hotel in central Calais if you want to walk to Forum Gambetta, or in Coquelles/Cite de l'Europe if you are driving and want chain-hotel parking.
Compare rail, ferry and car options; if flying, price Lille LIL, Paris CDG and Brussels BRU before choosing, and allow 2-3 hours for the onward ground transfer from CDG.
Set a bottle budget and decide how you will carry wine home; check ferry, Eurotunnel and airline baggage rules before buying cases at the salon.
Reserve a return taxi or rideshare if you stay in Coquelles; evening availability may be thin after tastings and local bus services thin out.
Pack a tasting notebook, water bottle, spittoon-friendly habits and a warm waterproof layer for February on the Channel coast.
Check French alcohol rules and age limits; bring ID if you may look under 18, and plan a designated driver or public transport if you intend to taste.
Download the SITAC bus map and save the venue address; print hotel confirmation and travel insurance details for immigration or ferry check-in if needed.
Leave space in your bag for a few bottles and ask producers about shipping before you buy a full case; mixed cases are easier to carry than heavy single bottles.
Plan your tasting route by region so you are not jumping from Champagne to Bordeaux to Rhone with a tired palate; start with lighter whites and finish with sweet or fortified wines.
Eat a proper meal before the salon and carry water; bread and cheese are not a substitute for pacing yourself across a long tasting session.
Check whether the venue accepts cash or card for entry and bottle sales; small producers may prefer cash, so bring some euros.
Confirm accessibility with COTEO if you use a wheelchair or need step-free access; ask about aisle widths and accessible toilets before travelling.
Set a meeting point and time with your group; crowded halls and low phone batteries make it easy to lose each other after a few tastings.
