In earlier communications with Vinexpo Bordeaux’s U.S.-based PR counsel, they describe the event, “Vinexpo 2017, the leading international exhibition for wine and spirits professionals, is bound for Bordeaux next summer with an anticipated 2,350 exhibitors from wine regions around the world and a groundbreaking, four-day line-up of conferences, tastings, seminars and networking events. The must-attend show, Vinexpo’s 19^th in Bordeaux, will be held June 18-21 at Parc des Expositions, about 20 minutes from the historic town center and some of the world’s most storied vineyards.

New features in 2017 will include the Hosted Buyers Program and One-to-Wine Meetings; WOW!, a space for organic and bio-dynamic wines; dedicated Riesling tastings on June 20; and two new pavilions focused on wine growers and niche wines.”
