Verona, 5 December 2025 – Vinitaly makes its debut in Thailand and strengthens its presence in India, reinforcing its positioning in key Asian markets for Italian wine. With these two strategic events, Vinitaly concludes its 2025 internationalisation programme and launches its presence in Thailand with the first-ever Vinitaly Preview in Bangkok on 8 December. Two days later, on 10 December, the project continues in India with a new stop in New Delhi aimed at engaging qualified buyers and industry professionals, in preparation for the Vinitaly India Roadshow, which will open 2026 with two stages in Mumbai and Panaji (16–18 January).
“These two events,” said Federico Bricolo, President of Veronafiere, “close a year in which we have strengthened direct dialogue with stakeholders and key players in the most dynamic markets for Italian wine. Our direct presence in Asia is the result of a path that sees us increasingly taking a leading role in global markets.”
“Thailand and India are becoming increasingly receptive markets for Italian wine,” added Adolfo Rebughini, General Manager of Veronafiere. “Maintaining a continuous presence means helping companies seize new opportunities and fostering wine culture in high-potential areas. Through targeted initiatives and strong institutional relationships, Vinitaly confirms itself as a strategic platform for opening new doors for Made in Italy worldwide.”
The first Vinitaly Preview in Bangkok will take place at Celadon at The Sukhothai Hotel, with a gala dinner organised in collaboration with the Italian Embassy and ITA – Italian Trade Agency, and will host 53 trade professionals, including importers, buyers, representatives from large-scale retail, and HoReCa operators.
Vinitaly Preview New Delhi, hosted at the Residence of the Italian Ambassador in the presence of Italy’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Antonio Tajani—on the eve of his mission to Mumbai—will bring together leading figures from India’s economic, political and cultural spheres, alongside industry professionals. The event will focus on two key themes in a market characterised by strong economic growth and still largely untapped wine consumption potential: the presentation of the Vinitaly India Roadshow and, at the same time, Vinitaly 2026 (Veronafiere, 12–15 April).
