New Zealand Winegrowers will be exhibiting at Wine Paris for the first time next month and bringing with it a strong presence.
On the New Zealand Pavilion there will be 23 exhibitors with over 40 wineries represented, while a further 18 New Zealand wine companies are exhibiting independently. In total, there will be over 70 New Zealand wineries from across 8 regions at the Fair showcasing the depth of New Zealand wine.
New Zealand is known for Sauvignon Blanc, and visitors will be able to discover the breadth and diversity of our most famous grape. In addition, other classics such as Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, red blends and aromatic varieties will be available to taste from across the country. Smaller planted varieties, such as Albariňo and Grüner Veltliner, as well as Sparkling, Rosé and lower alcohol styles will allow more discovery. Visitors to the pavilion will gain a deeper understanding of what sets New Zealand wines apart and makes them unique.
New Zealand Winegrowers is particularly delighted to welcome a number of award winning winemakers and producers to the pavilion.
Chris Stroud, New Zealand Winegrowers’ Market Manager UK Europe says, “We are delighted to be attending Wine Paris for the first time. This is an increasingly important fair in the global trade calendar, so it is essential that New Zealand has a strong presence. Any company looking to list or find out more about New Zealand wine, should certainly come and visit us. The New Zealand Wine Pavilion will act as an information hub for all New Zealand wineries at Wine Paris. We look forward to welcoming attendees, showcasing our distinctive wines and supporting the growth of New Zealand wine around the world.”
The event is running from 9-11 February 2026 at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles and the New Zealand Pavilion can be found in Hall 6, Stand D203 – this floor plan highlights all the wineries exhibiting.To register to visit – www.wineparis.com.
