Hosting the next chapter

Do wine and spirits producers in your region deserve to have the spotlight shone on them by the entire industry? Then let’s write the next chapter of Vinexpo Explorer!

The choice of host regions

Vinexpo Explorer offers a region or country the chance to boost their wine and/or spirits business. With this pioneering event, Vinexposium aims to showcase a region which has yet to become an international consumer trend, but has the potential to become one.

Vinexpo Explorer selects regions that are true ‘gems’ but still under the radar when it comes to the reputation of their wines and/or spirits.

This is a unique opportunity to create a buzz with two or three energising days full of business meetings, tastings and idea sharing. It is a rare opportunity to secure awareness for your region among key buyers so that it can grow and you can share your story, your heritage and your culture.

Caroline Shaw

Member of the Sonoma County board

“These were three exceptional days for our county! There is no doubt that long-term business relations were forged. Our winegrowers were very excited by the new export prospects.”
