Destination Chile

Vinexpo Explorer is an exclusive B2B event developed by Vinexposium, connecting international buyers with wine producers in key wine regions. For the first time, Wines of Chile and ProChile bring the event to Chile, in collaboration with the Chilean Ministry of Agriculture and the Undersecretariat of International Economic Affairs.


Over four days, selected buyers and journalists will discover Chilean wine through professional tastings, pre-scheduled business meetings and winery visits in the Metropolitan and Valparaíso regions. Buyers are decision-makers from strategic markets, including importers, distributors, retailers, e-commerce, duty-free and HoReCa, with a strong focus on premium Chilean wines.

The Vinexpo Explorer concept

Designed by Vinexposium, Vinexpo Explorer is a new way of growing business. It is a unique immersion in an ‘under-the-radar’ producer region for a select group of buyers.


Vinexpo Explorer is an all-inclusive, invitation-only touring event with targeted appointments and time set aside for networking. Located in the heart of the producer region, it connects a hand-picked selection of international buyers with local producers. The programme includes tastings, business meetings and exclusive visits.

Chile: a unique destination between the Andes and the Pacific

Stretching along the western edge of South America, Chile is defined by an extraordinary geography, bordered by the Andes Mountains to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west.


Its remarkable length creates an exceptional diversity of climates, landscapes and ecosystems, from the Atacama Desert in the north to Patagonia in the south.


Chile combines modern infrastructure, strong international connectivity and a long-standing export-oriented economy, while its natural environment and distinctive geography have shaped a unique identity closely connected to agriculture, gastronomy, wine and tourism.
