What's it all about?
"Altogether Unique - The New Zealand Wine Story" underscores that the uniqueness of New Zealand Wine cannot be attributed to a single factor but rather arises from a fortuitous convergence of various elements. This story is brought to life through New Zealand Winegrowers' annual multi-city roadshow in China, held each May. The roadshow serves as a platform to showcase New Zealand's finest wines, uniting exporters and importers with approximately 1,000 trade professionals in New Zealand's primary markets within China. Beyond wine, the event offers a comprehensive lifestyle experience, designed to resonate with a broad audience, fostering lasting awareness for both New Zealand and its wines. The roadshow is structured into two primary segments: the Masterclass and the Trade Tasting, each contributing to the vibrant tapestry of New Zealand's wine narrative.
Why should you be there?
- China is one of the most significant country for potential growth.
- China Roadshow has been running for over decades and has maintained its course throughout the challenging COVID-19 years. The steadfast commitment to promoting NZ wine in China has solidified the roadshow’s reputation as the paramount business and communication event for NZ wine in the region.
- Introducing New Zealand wines to local trade in first-tier cities which have the features of mature wine markets in an effective way
- Spend resources on your own individual brand development using the premium platforms created by New Zealand Winegrowers
- Great opportunity for wineries with distributors to make physical contacts with local trade and F&B buyers, have a better understanding of market trends and changes, and boost import & sales
- Provide wineries seeking distribution with an effective approach to potential importers
Who will be there on the day?
- High level hotel F&B directors and buyers
- Wine importers, distributors, and retailers
- Educators, writers, and wine media
- Wine lovers
- Expected number of guests: 500 pax per city
