Wine and Spirits Trade Vinexpo Asia Returns to Hong Kong This May 2024

After a hiatus of six years, Vinexpo Asia is making a triumphant return to Hong Kong, signalling a reset for the wine and spirits trade in the region. From May 28 to 30, producers, distributors, and buyers from across Asia and around the world will converge at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) for three days of networking and business opportunities.

While the Covid-19 pandemic prompted a temporary pause on the Vinexpo Asia event, the organizers, Vinexposium, are confident in the readiness of the trade to resume in full force. Hong Kong, with its rich history as a hub for the wine and spirits industry in Asia, provides the perfect backdrop for this much-anticipated event.

Since its inception 26 years ago, Vinexpo Asia has played a pivotal role in fostering economic relationships within the wine and spirits industry. Historically, Hong Kong has served as the gateway to the China and broader Asian market, making it an ideal location for the showcase.

This year's exhibition promises to be bigger and better than ever. With 1,300 wine producers and 11% of exhibitors representing spirits from 12 countries, attendees can expect a diverse array of offerings. From French wines to international spirits like whisky, mezcal, rum, sake, and baijiu, there's something for every palate.

With an anticipated attendance of 10,000 visitors, including 50% being importers, Vinexpo Asia 2024 is set to be a bustling hub of activity. Over 50 industry sessions featured in the Vinexpo Academy program will provide valuable insights and education for wine entrepreneurs and professionals.
