What to Expect at Vinexpo America 2025: Miami

Vinexpo America is switching things up in 2025 with a bold new home: Miami.

It’s more than just a scenic upgrade; it’s a strategic move that places the show right at the crossroads of the Americas and the Caribbean, opening the door to new markets, new connections, and even bigger trade potential. With the city’s international pulse and booming hospitality scene, it’s the perfect place to bring the global wine and spirits community together under one (very sunny) roof.

This year’s show will bring together 280+ exhibitors from over 25 countries, offering a mix of producers of wine, spirits, cider, and sake. Whether you are sourcing new products, looking to break into the U.S. market, or keeping an eye on what’s trending, there’s plenty to discover… and taste. 2025 also brings some exciting debuts: Germany makes its first appearance with wines from Rhineland-Palatinate, Colorado enters with an eclectic mix of distilleries, sake, cider, and wine, and Argentina returns strong with two pavilions, including a deep lineup from Mendoza.

Beyond the tasting floor, the Vinexpo Academy delivers a full slate of expert-led panels and masterclasses that dig into what’s shaping the industry now and what is to come. From consumer trends and terroir to the rise of agave and the future of on-premises experiences, the sessions will cover a lot of ground. Standouts include “Importing and Distributing in the U.S.” by MHW Ltd., “Glass Half Full” with the IWSR, and a deep dive into the Florida wine market with Sarah Phillips. The Academy is where strategy, insight, and networking collide, which are all designed to help attendees stay inspired.

Pro-tip: Come prepared. The show is packed with opportunity, but the real magic happens when you plan ahead. Check out the exhibitor list early, book meetings through the online platform, and lock in your badge before space fills up. The full exhibitor list and meeting tools are available online at vinexpo-america.com.

Vinexpo America isn’t just a trade event. It’s a high-impact meet-up for an industry navigating a lot of moving parts. With economic uncertainty, changing tariffs, and shifting market dynamics still in play, it’s more important than ever to come together, share insights, and build the kind of connections that keep the industry moving forward. Whether you are a first-timer or a longtime attendee, this year’s iteration is set to bring fresh energy, global flavor, and plenty of opportunity to the table while raising the bar.
