Waiting for Vinitaly 2025, here’s what happened at last year’s fair
Vinitaly 2024 is the international wine & spirits exhibition of Italian wine scheduled from 14 to 17 April 2024 in Verona (Italy). It is one of the most important wine events in the world. The 56th edition of Vinitaly is reserved exclusively for professionals: importer, wholesaler, distributor, agent, large-scale retail trade purchasing manager, winemaker, restaurateur, hotelier, caterer, bartender or professional sommelier. The location of Vinitaly 2024 is Verona Fiere, like previous years. In fact, the exhibition is owned and organized by Veronafiere and takes place every year in April in the Verona exhibition center on a surface area of over 100.000 square meters which includes 17 pavilions (fixed and tensile structures). However, Vinitaly and the City 2024 is the off-show event specifically for wine lovers boasting a programme of more than 50 events including art, culture, tastings, master classes and wine talks in the most beautiful squares of the historic centre of Verona, a UNESCO World Heritage Site (12-15 April 2024). But Vinitaly is not only the main event in the city of Verona, because all year round it promotes fairs around the world.
