The “New York Wine Experience,” organized annually by the prestigious industry magazine Wine Spectator, is one of the most exclusive and influential events in the global wine scene. Every autumn, this event brings together producers, experts, critics, and enthusiasts from all over the world in Manhattan to celebrate the finest wines. It’s an unmissable showcase for Italian wineries, which can present their labels to a high-level audience, made up of collectors and industry professionals.
Italy, a long-standing protagonist of this event, stands out for its extraordinary variety of wines, represented by great classics such as Barolo, Brunello di Montalcino, Amarone, and Chianti, as well as lesser-known yet equally prestigious labels from emerging regions. There is growing interest in native grape varieties and organic and biodynamic production in the United States, where consumers are increasingly seeking high-quality wines tied to their regions and sustainability.
Participating in the New York Wine Experience means joining an international elite, where Italian companies can not only showcase their products but also build business relationships and enhance their global reputation. This event is also an opportunity to solidify the image of Italian wine as a symbol of excellence and millennia-old culture, highlighting the balance between innovation and tradition.
While the New York Wine Experience is a prestigious showcase, Vinitaly USA is the event aimed at strengthening the presence of Italian wine in the U.S. market through a series of appointments and tastings organized in various American cities. This format, the international extension of the famous Vinitaly event in Verona, aims to promote and strengthen the relationships between Italian producers and U.S. importers, distributors, and buyers.
Vinitaly USA focuses on strategic cities such as New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, where demand for Italian wine is constantly growing. The event goes beyond simple tastings and includes masterclasses, business-to-business meetings, and educational seminars designed to deeply explore the uniqueness of Italian wine, with a particular focus on authenticity, biodiversity, and quality.
These two events highlight the growing importance of Italian wine in the United States, a market that is increasingly receptive to high-quality products from Italy.
