Vinitaly – International Wine and Spirits Exhibition
The most important Italian wine exhibition
About Vinitaly
The benchmark exhibition for Italian wine
Vinitaly is the International Wine and Spirits Exhibition organized by Veronafiere, in Verona, Veneto. Founded in 1967, it has grown to become the world's most important trade fair dedicated to Italian wine and one of the decisive events for the sector's exports. Each edition brings together around 4,000 exhibiting companies and thousands of professional operators and international buyers in the Veronafiere pavilions.
Between business, tastings, and training
Vinitaly is not just a commercial showcase: the program includes hundreds of official events, including masterclasses, guided tastings, awards, and conferences. Thematic areas such as Vinitaly Bio (organic wines), Xcellent Spirits (spirits), the NoLo Experience (low or no alcohol wines), and the International Wines area showcase the evolution of the sector, while the Vinitaly International Academy offers advanced training seminars on Italian native grape varieties.
Verona, the world's wine crossroads
With thousands of accredited buyers from dozens of nations, Vinitaly confirms Verona's role as the world's enological crossroads every year. Largely reserved for industry professionals, the exhibition is the moment when Italian wineries meet international markets and when trends in 'made in Italy' wine are measured.
Vinitaly — edition 2026
The 58th edition of Vinitaly takes place at Veronafiere from April 12 to 15, 2026. The exhibition brings together around 4,000 wineries and welcomes over a thousand buyers from more than 70 nations, with over a hundred official events scheduled. Featuring masterclasses on major native grape varieties — Sangiovese, Barolo, Barbaresco, Amarone, Prosecco — and comparative tastings, the program also explores the latest industry trends through the sections Vinitaly Bio, Xcellent Spirits, NoLo Experience, and International Wines. The exhibition is primarily dedicated to professional operators.
