Wine Pleasures has been successfully organizing events in Europe for over 20 years aimed at the food and wine tourism sector and guarantees professionalism and experience in the selection of participants. The buyers with whom it works have expressly requested to be able to deepen their knowledge of Italian and Apulian productions with the aim of starting interesting commercial contacts in these territories, but European producers cannot be missing to give an international dimension to the event.

The organization provides an online B2B agenda on which participants can schedule meetings before the event. Three days of 360° networking in which producers find themselves sharing all the moments of the day with buyers with scheduled and already scheduled appointments in order to make the workshop run smoothly.

An extraordinary opportunity for Puglia to highlight and make known all the peculiarities and delicacies of the area. The choice of the location of the event is not trivial, one of the places of the Talea Collection , an established brand in the world of hospitality, renowned for its excellent typical cuisine and the professional welcome of the staff who transform the trip into a memorable experience.

“For our group – declares Andrea Sabato , General Manager of Talea Collection, a leading hotel group in Puglia with the properties the boutique hotel La Peschiera, the Masseria Il Melograno and the Calaponte Hotel – food and hospitality represent key elements of the heritage of our region and our nation. For years now we have undertaken a virtuous path in favor of the valorisation of the territory through strategic partnerships with model companies: from the collaboration with Treccani Accademia with which we promoted two Masters " Tourism: experience design & destination management" and "Burgundy in Puglia. A journey to discover one of the most important wine production regions in the world" up to the collaboration with AIS for the training of young sommeliers".

At the end of the B2B, from 21 to 23 February, there will be an educational tour for seven international guests who will be able to visit the cellars and production sites and fully enjoy

of the beauty of the territories, of the authentic Apulian farms, of the vineyards, of the centuries-old olive trees, as well as enjoying the good traditional food and the excellent hospitality of our region.

Wine Events Worldwide and Wine Pleasures also plan, develop and manage real tasting trips for wine tourists in France, Italy, Portugal and Spain. The Wine Events Worldwide staff produces the annual e-books - 50 Great Cavas, 50 Great Sparkling Wines of the World, 50 Great White Wines of the World great white wines of the world), 50 Great Red Wines of the World (the 50 great red wines of the world).

As part of the two events mentioned above, it organizes educational tours (FAM trips) for wine and EVO oil importers in collaboration with the host regions or countries. These tours consist of gathering importers/tour operators and agents who participate in visit programs to the companies of entrepreneurs interested in exporting their products.
