Reverse Trade Mission to Spain

Reverse Trade Mission to Spain For Wine Importers, Distributors, Retailers & The On-Trade
10 – 15 February 2010

The Trade Mission

concept7The Wine Pleasures Reverse Trade Mission allows wine importers interested in doing business with Spanish & Portuguese Wineries to participate in a workshop and tour 6 different Spanish wine 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 delegation arriving from a foreign country will have expectations of their own while in Spain. Visiting delegates have the opportunity to become more familiar with Portuguese and Spanish 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.

New: Participants will also have the opportunity to meet with organic and biodynamic wine producers from around the world in the same event.
