IWINETC 2022 Announcement
Due to recent and continuing political unrest in some grape escape destinations within Europe some of our key sponsors are not able to commit resources to host IWINETC 2022 and so with great regret we are not able to schedule the 14th annual edition of IWINETC this year.
The good news is we are connecting with destinations and planning for IWINETC 2023 and look forward to making an announcment later this year.
IWINETC, organised by Wine Events Worldwide is the leading and longest running global event for the wine and culinary tourism industry, held in grape escape destinations around the world. The event delivers thought provoking professional education, an extensive exhibition area to discover wine travel destinations and their wines, a focused business environment for tour operators to meet wine tourism experience providers and a chance to discover the wine tourism highlights of the host destination.
