Discover wine producers that fit your sourcing needs

Expand your portfolio by meeting wine producers actively looking for import and distribution partners across the Americas.

During your visit, you can taste wines from established regions as well as producers entering new export markets. Meeting producers in person helps you quickly assess wine quality and determine whether a label fits your portfolio.

Use the two-day format to focus on suppliers that match your commercial priorities:

Taste wines across multiple styles and price segments
Meet winery owners and export managers directly
Compare producers in one place
Identify wines that fit your market positioning

These conversations also help you clarify key sourcing elements such as pricing structure, available volumes, and export capacity.

By meeting multiple suppliers in one place, you can evaluate opportunities more efficiently and move sourcing discussions forward with the right partners.

Expand your wine selection across key markets

Wine demand differs across the Americas. Each market requires wines that match specific price levels and consumer expectations.

A key meeting point for wine professionals

Vinexpo Americas gives you access to producers whose wines respond to these market realities. Direct discussion with producers helps you evaluate how each wine could fit your distribution portfolio and how it may perform in your market.

Connect your producers with importers and distributors

You also discover wines from regions that still hold limited presence across the Americas. These meetings help you strengthen your current selection and identify new opportunities for portfolio development.

Meet producers and buyers active across the wine trade

Vinexpo Americas gives you direct access to producers who seek distribution partners across the Americas. You meet winery owners and export managers responsible for international sales and market development. These conversations help you assess supplier reliability, clarify export conditions, and determine how a wine could enter your distribution portfolio.

You also exchange with professionals involved in wine purchasing across the region. Discussions with retail buyers, hospitality professionals, and other distributors provide useful insight into how wines circulate across different markets and distribution channels.

Understand distribution and compliance across the Americas

Wine distribution across the Americas follows different regulatory frameworks. Each country applies its own rules for import and market access. Vinexpo Americas helps you understand how these systems influence wine trade across the region.

Short conference formats called Quick Talks address key operational topics for importers and distributors, including:

distribution structures in the United States
regulatory frameworks across Latin America
market access and compliance requirements

These sessions give you useful context before introducing a new producer into your portfolio. The information helps you evaluate market entry conditions and prepare discussions with wineries during the event.

What wine professionals say about us

Yves Mathurin

Iznogood International Wines

“Vinexpo America helps us close business deals that we started in Wine Paris earlier in the year. It gives us time to exchange and discover the wines. It’s important for us buyers to have this presence near Latin America.”

Matias Prezioso

Vinesence

“I think for every importer in Latin America whether from Mexico, Central America, or South America, it’s a great opportunity. You can just stay two or three days and then go back to work at home.”

David Siozard

Vignobles Siozard

“I made a lot of different contacts and was able to have many meetings thanks to Vinexpo’s matchmaking software. It’s been very useful for us at this edition.”
