What does VinCE stand for?

As suggested by its name, the primary focus of the event is wine (as in vin) exhibited in Central Europe (CE). 150 wineries are scheduled to take part in the event with exhibitors coming from Hungary and the neighboring countries but some winemakers from outside the region will also offer their bottles for tasting. In addition to wine, we also intend to highlight pálinka with the best distilleries presenting their products.

The event also hosts further gourmet products such as cheese, olive oil and extraordinary sausages just to mention a few. Besides displaying an awesome cornucopia of wines, the exhibition also offers seated tastings – masterclasses – and interactive workshops where wine lovers may sip both wine and knowledge, while wineries receive up-to-date information and efficient assistance.

Who is it for?

VinCE is for everybody who appreciates high-quality wine and looks for excellence in all products, be it a pastry or mineral water. While serving an unparalleled experience for wine lovers, VinCE is a must for all stakeholders of the profession.
