Wine2Wine Business Forum Expands to Chicago with Vinitaly USA

Chicago: The Wine2Wine business forum is coming to Vinitaly.USA. The new stage in the Italian wine sector’s growth path, organized by the Vinitaly fair and the Veronafiere complex, takes place at Chicago’s Navy Pier on October 5 and 6.

According to Ansa News Agency, launched in 2014 to create relationships, insights, and strategic vision among professionals in the sector, Wine2Wine is an integral part of the Vinitaly.USA format. The aim is to strengthen the competitiveness of Italian companies in the North American market.

The program includes B2B meetings, market analysis, specialized training, and tasting sessions, with the direct involvement of the 33rd Vinitaly International Academy (VIA) and key local players.

“We are consolidating Vinitaly as a global hub for Italian wine with the expansion of Wine2Wine in Chicago,” said Veronafiere General Manager Adolfo Rebughini. “After the excellent debut in 2024, Vinitaly.USA has confirmed its status as a strategic platform for the national wine system.”

“The goal is to give continuity to the Italian presence on the American market, activating permanent tools for dialogue, training, and international business.”

The first edition of Vinitaly.USA, which took place last October, brought together 230 Italian wine producers from seven regions, over 1,650 labels, and more than 1,500 accredited professional operators, including buyers, importers, distributors, and horeca enterprises.
