Winefest Industry & Trade Information

Qualified hotel, restaurant and liquor store personnel were invited to attend the 2019 Winefest Private Industry & Trade Tasting Sessions for an opportunity to sip and sample while networking with key industry contacts. Each industry member was permitted to bring one guest and required to bring two business cards and photo identification to be admitted to the session.

A Rioja takeover! This year's industry affiliates met winery principles and representatives from a selection of award-winning Rioja wineries who joined us at Winefest as part of 2019's feature wine region.
