Porto to Host 2011 Wine Pleasures International Wine Tourism Conference & Workshop

Wine Pleasures is pleased to announce that the 3rd annual edition of the Wine Pleasures International Wine Tourism Conference and Workshop will be held from 31st January – 3rd February 2011 in Porto, Portugal.

This year’s Conference & Workshop saw over 200 wine tourism professionals from around the world descend on the little know Catalan village of La Beguda Baixa in the Penedès & Cava wine region of Catalonia, Spain for the 2nd edition of the Wine Pleasures International Wine Tourism Conference and Workshop which was held over four days at the Barceló Hotel Montserrat.

With so many paticipants travelling from Portugal to the event over the last two years, it has made it an easy decision to take the event to Portugal in 2011. During the next few days the Wine Pleasures Team will be travelling to Porto to choose a suitable venue to host the 3rd edition of the Conference and Workshop. Candidates for the event include The Yeatman Hotel, Pousada Palacio Freixo, Hotel Sheraton Porto and Hotel Tiara Porto.

As well as viewing hotels and sampling the gastronomy and wine we’ll be attending Essencia do Vinho Wine show at Palacio da Bolsa where, on Thursday 4th March 2010 we will be making in collaboration with DOC DMC and Winelands of Douro the official announcement that Porto and Portugal will be the venue for the Wine Tourism Conference and Workshop 2011. So if you are in Porto for Essencia do Vinho do come along at 18.30 and meet who is who in Porto over a glass of Port!

Upon our return we will be announcing the Hotel venue and will make a first call for papers.

Hi Carrie, how are you? At wine pleaures you get what you pay for! And it is certainly a much better investment than many of the bad wine fairs out there. You will have the opportunity to meet many importers. And Casavides made a new client. Good luck!
Comment by Carrie Jorgensen on July 11, 2009 at 3:50am
I am interested in hearing some feedback from the wineries who participated in the event, like Casa de las Vides, how it actually went? Was it worth the cost? Are you planning on participating again?

I have noted that there is an interesting event coming up in Shanghai, where it might make sense for Portuguese wineries like ours to come. Any one thinking of participating?
Comment by Emilio Saez on March 12, 2009 at 11:27pm
It's the first time for La Casa de las Vides that we participate. It's great to receive direct answers from importers around the world. It already has proved to be an efficient set up, as I can tell from the many appointments with wine importers. I hope the event will be effective as well.

I am in the wine cellar business and am in France during the year. For any members seeking private village lodging in the french Vaucluse or Drome wine regions, please let me know. You can view a slideshow of current available properties at my blog at albionnews.typepad.com. Private winemaker visits are also possible.

Otherwise visit albioncellars.com.

Thanks Anthony! Starting my homework as soon as I've had a bit of lunch...
Yes, please, sign me up for the wine tourism workshop (if that's necessary). I'll go to the site for details.
I'll be in touch.

Hi Sarah! Welcome to the Group!

The Wine Pleasures International Wine Tourism Conference and Workshop will be held at the Hotel Port Sitges Resort and at the moment there are rooms available. To reserve you should either telephone or email the hotel clearly stating you are a participant in the Conference and/or workshop otherwise they will tell you they are full. You can not book through their web site - no vacancies.

If you are just setting up a business you might want to consider taking part in the Wine Tourism Workshop where you can hold private meetings with international tour operators travelling to the event and looking to meet wine expreience providers like yourselves.

How fortuitous! A colleague and I are in the process of setting up cooking and wine tasting & pairing workshops and/or courses in our region (Languedoc-Roussillon, South of France). I am very interested in the conference. Does anyone have suggestions for a place to stay? Where are other people coming from and how are they travelling to Barcelona? I would dearly appreciate a few more details before I can make a final decision bout whether I can go.
Thanks and cheers,
Sarah

China Market

High volume is mandatory, but we have an order for a smaller exploratory shipment. If you have a slate of bottles that you think would work well, please contact me if your wineries want to take part. Looking for low end and high end bottles. State-side or abroad. I would be happy to answer any questions via…

Looking to buy cheap wine for China

Hello!

My company is based out of California and specializes in exporting and distributing wine to China.

 

We are currently looking for any Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot wines that fall in the $1-4/bottle price range for a client that wants 1 small order and one much larger bulk order.

 

If anyone with bottled and labeled wine in this price range and is interested in exporting to China don't hesitate to contact me. Also, if you just have general questions,…
