Chapter II: Sonoma County

Discover Sonoma County wines with Vinexpo Explorer

The second Vinexpo Explorer opus took its selection of international buyers on a first class trip to California. The visit featured three days of total immersion, from 23 to 25 September 2018, in the legendary vineyards of Sonoma County, which are as diverse as they are sun-kissed.

Over these three days, Vinexpo Explorer established itself as the ideal format for creating highly effective encounters and opportunities for friendship, boosting a region’s reputation and, of course, growing business.

“Vinexpo Explorer is a unique opportunity to see everybody who makes wine in the region. Some of the producers were meeting a foreign buyer for the first time. This is a rare opportunity”.
