Lausanne / 6–13 MAY 2027
The countdown has begun, the deadlines are fast approaching – let’s not delay in signing up…
We have received this press release from the organisers:
A gathering, a celebration, discoveries…
and wines to share…
Dear Sisters and Brothers,
The countdown has begun!
From 6 to 13 May 2027, Lausanne and French-speaking Switzerland will have the pleasure of welcoming the 53rd FICB International Congress
Au-delà des rencontres entre confréries venues de différents horizons, ce Congrès sera surtout une invitation à découvrir, déguster et partager. Découvrir des vins et des terroirs, bien sûr, mais aussi une région, son histoire, ses paysages et quelques-uns de ses lieux emblématiques.
From the Lavaux vineyards, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to the great terroirs of Valais, from the shores of Lake Léman to the landscapes of French-speaking Switzerland, we wish to offer you a true immersion in the diversity of our vineyards and in the way of life that surrounds them.
The program will go far beyond wine. Among other highlights, a day in Geneva will offer the opportunity to discover the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum, an outstanding place dedicated to humanitarian action and to an institution whose origins lie in Switzerland. Other visits, encounters and convivial moments will complement this week dedicated to friendship and Bacchic fellowship.
Wine will be our common thread.
Discovery will be our invitation.
Friendship will be our guiding principle.
We therefore invite you to confirm your registration without delay.
31 August 2026 is the deadline to secure your registration at a preferential rate. From 1 September, Congress registration fees will be adjusted.
Do not miss this opportunity to register under the current conditions and participate in this international gathering of Wine Brotherhoods.
Lausanne 2027 is waiting for you.
Join us for a week of discoveries, wines, landscapes, culture and, above all, friendship between Brotherhoods.
We look forward to welcoming you to Switzerland!
| The President of the FSCBG Philippe PILLONEL | The President of Congress Michel CHABLOZ | The Secretary-General Hubert VARRIN |
