Industry Relevance 

Vinitaly has a long history. More than half a century. The very first edition was held in 1967, when it was called Italian Wine Days, but as the event grew in size, it created its own identity. Now, it’s one of the most exciting trade events in Verona. Wine professionals wait for it to come every June at Fiera Verona and bring with it the latest and best wines. Vinitaly is one of the first events to put the spotlight on bio wine. Vinitalybio is the special exhibition show for certified organic wine. More and more customers are turning to organic products out of environmental concerns. One of the most successful parts of Vinitaly is the Citadels of Gastronomy, which offer visitors fine dining. As far as products, exhibitors span the entire production chain. There are wines and spirits. 

A sub-event attached to the main portion of Vinitaly is Enolitech. This is a small exhibition that targets the technological supply chain applied to wine-growing, olive growing and beverages. This is where exhibitors working on the technological side of the industry can create buzz about their products and services. Enolitech provides an overview from the start (vineyard and olive grove nurseries, growing systems and materials) to the very end (logistics and shipping). The portfolio has grown to include harvesting and processing machinery and equipment, biotechnologies, adjuvants, clarifying agents, stabilizers and preservatives, labels, corks, capsules and packaging.

Who Are You Going to Meet? 

Trade visitors are able to experience the labels from major award-winning vineyards and estates such as Kleine Zalze Wine Estate, De Trafford Wines, Sadie Family Wines, and Alheit Vineyards. All of these have had major wins at the 5 Star Wines competition, which has been running for six years now as part of Vinitaly. In terms of visitors, you have buyers, restaurants, hotels, and other retailers. You also have an incredible amount of foreign delegations, which come from China; France – Algeria – Tunisia; Argentina, Chile, Peru; India – Sri Lanka – Bangladesh; USA. The list goes on and on, which proves that Vinitaly is the best procurement platform.

The level of internationality continues to improve, which means more opportunities for brands to find their way into new markets. The last live edition saw the United States as the foreign country with the biggest presence alongside Germany. Europe makes for around 60% of all visitors and the countries with the biggest numbers are France, Switzerland, Belgium, Holland, Czech Republic and Denmark.
