The other two competing regions are the Greek island of Crete and Kvarnar, a region in Croatia.

This year I have attended Vinitaly after many years. Among the four main wine fairs, Vinitaly (the other one being ProWein, Wine Paris and Millésime Bio) was the best organized one. ProWein has been for years my main focus, but I think that its limit is being in Düsseldorf. This year I could not go. The city offers too little for a global oenogastronomic crowd and the prices were skyrocketing. Maybe it's time to consider doing it in another city? We should try to remember that those working in the wine industry are directly or indirectly involved with tourism and hospitality, therefore they might want/need to go to locations offering different choices, standards and opportunity. Wine Paris: what a chaos. Ok, fine, you are in Paris, the touristic capital by excellence, but the downsides are an overcrowded public transporation system, non-existing taxis, and fair premises where one has almost to climb a hill..... Millésime Bio: very interesting fair and well organized, if only they organized the producers' stands per region and not randomly. Montpellier is a lovely and calm city, public transportation is good. To my own surprise, Vinitaly was great. Everything was clear and clean, food was great and one can taste so many different grape varieties, like nowhere else. The main train station is near. Verona is also a touristic and beautiful place to go. Vinitaly Official ProWein Millésime BIO Vinexposium #winefairs #wine #tourism #hospitality
