Vinitaly is relaunching with an international roadmap featuring nine events across Asia, Europe, and the Americas before the 58th edition scheduled in Verona from April 12 to 15, 2026. The goal is twofold: to support export and internationalization of Italian wine companies while boosting the inbound flow of professional operators to the exhibition.
“Veronafiere continues to strengthen its presence in key foreign markets with the aim of accompanying Italian wine companies on their path to international growth,” commented Federico Bricolo, President of Veronafiere. “Through Vinitaly, we provide companies with a unique heritage of expertise and institutional and commercial relationships, working in synergy with ICE-Agency and major institutions to best showcase Italian wine excellence worldwide.”
