The history and objectives of Vinitaly

Regarded as the most important national and international wine event of all time, Vinitaly was founded in 1967 when the Giornate del Vino Italiano (Italian Wine Days) took place in the Palazzo della Gran Guardia. Over time, with the aim of disseminating as much information as possible on wine production and consumption, it has become a fully-fledged trade fair, giving rise to the first Olive Oil Exhibition, the International Wine Competition and many other events that have taken the fair to other parts of the world, such as China, America and Russia. 

                                                                                                     Verona’s premier wine exhibition

Transforming the city into a capital of the nectar of the gods, Vinitaly offers all wine lovers an opportunity to immerse themselves fully in the world of wine.
