Vinexposium has announced that Vinexpo Asia will return to Hong Kong in 2027, taking place from 8 to 10 June at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC). The event will now be held annually in Hong Kong, establishing a single, consistent meeting point for the wine and spirits industry in Asia and marking a new strategic cycle for Vinexpo Asia in the region.
Strategic Shift to Annual Format
Building on nearly three decades of activity in Asia, Vinexposium is reinforcing its role in the region by providing the wine and spirits industry with a stable annual meeting point in Hong Kong. This evolution aims to offer greater continuity for international producers, buyers, importers, distributors and industry stakeholders across Asia.
According to Rodolphe Lameyse, CEO of Comexposium's Food & Beverage Division, "Hong Kong has been part of Vinexpo Asia's history since 1998 and remains one of the most relevant gateways to Asian markets for the wine and spirits industry. Establishing Vinexpo Asia as an annual event in Hong Kong reflects Vinexposium's confidence in the city and supports Comexposium's broader Food & Beverage strategy in Asia."
Hong Kong as a Gateway to Asia
Hong Kong's central position in Asia, as a gateway to Mainland China and a platform closely connected to Southeast Asia and the wider Asia-Pacific region, makes it a natural base from which to bring together the full spectrum of Asian markets. The shift to an annual event responds to industry demand for greater stability and momentum.
Grace Ghazale, International Events Director at Vinexposium, explained that this new annual format responds to the industry's need for greater stability, momentum and visibility in Asia. By establishing Vinexpo Asia in Hong Kong on a yearly basis, Vinexposium aims to offer exhibitors and visitors a clearer framework to build long-term relationships, plan their participation more effectively and support the continued development of trade across the region.
