2nd REVERSE TRADE MISSION TO ITALY: FOR WINE IMPORTERS, DISTRIBUTORS, RETAILERS & THE ON-TRADE. 23 – 28 May 2010
The Trade Mission
Wine tasting during a winery visit
The Wine Pleasures Reverse Trade Mission allows wine importers interested in doing business with Italian Wineries to participate in a workshop and tour to different ine producing regions, taste the wines and meet the winery owner and winemaker. The reverse mission differs greatly from a foreign trade mission in that the delegate arriving from a foreign country will have expectations of their own while in Italy. Visiting delegates have the opportunity to become more familiar with Italian wines while seeking counterparts. A workshop is scheduled to allow for business meetings followed by a winery region visit programme for informal contact and familiarization.
