Wine connoisseurs or oenophiles look forward to the Bordeaux Wine Festival every year. This year, it was held from June 22nd to 25th, where attendees were part of wine-tasting programmes and other rich experiences. But the highlight of France’s Bordeaux Wine Festival 2023 was the spectacular drone show that replaced its annual fireworks show for environment-friendly purposes.
Bordeaux Wine Festival 2023: Drones Light Up The Sky Instead Of Fireworks
What makes Bordeaux Wine Festival 2023 stand out from its previous events is its futuristic approach. This year, the annual festival held a stunning drone show over its annual fireworks display. Over 400 drones lit up the night sky over the Garonne River in Bordeaux. There were 20-minute shows held on Friday and Saturday where the drones created stunning formations of wine being poured into a glass from a bottle, a vineyard and more.

Onlookers at the event were in awe as the drones later rearranged themselves to form ‘Bordeaux celebrates wine’ in bold letters in the night sky. Unlike other years where fireworks shows create awe among visitors but also left the sky cloudy, filled with smoke and pollution, this time there was an environment-friendly approach taken at the Bordeaux Wine Festival 2023.
