International Wine Expo will make its grand return to Chicago October 22-23, marking Vinitaly's debut in the US, which remains the leading market for Italian wine, and providing a dynamic platform for top buyers and authentic Italian wine and oil producers and brands to connect, with its unique lounge-style setting.

The expo offers on and off-premise buyers access to fine wines, masterclasses, exclusive dinners and business & networking opportunities, with additional "After-Hours" programming and a closing event open to the public.
