Welcome to Wineries Unlimited 2012
Due to the resounding success and warm welcome we received in Virginia last March,it was an easy decision to bring Wineries Unlimited back to Richmond in 2012. With it we bring you an event that's "eastern in scope and diverse in flavor." In fact, that's our theme for this year's conference!
Now in its 36th year, Wineries Unlimited annually attracts over 2,200 members of the eastern wine industry from up and down the entire Atlantic Seaboard from Ontario to Florida and inland from Ohio clear down to Louisiana.
This year, you'll experience diversity with an international flavor as representatives from France, Italy, and Canada join the ranks of trade show exhibitors. Wineries Unlimited provides the "Buyer's Marketplace" where buyers and shoppers flock each year with list in hand to make their annual purchases. We've added more flavor to the trade show this year by making advance tickets free, offering a fun lunch on the trade show floor each day and introducing a Trade Show Happy Hour each day of the show.
Wineries Unlimited is also the perfect place to mix work with pleasure. By day, you'll be able to absorb critical session content by speakers hand-picked by our session moderators to deliver you the details you need to know to make informed business decisions. As evening rolls around, it's time to socialize and network at the Welcome Reception or Best of the East Grand Gala where Jim Trezise is this year's master of ceremonies. In fact, Best of the East will offer its own special flavor with a new dining experience called "A Taste of Virginia", filled with delicious choices unique to the state and region. Be sure to allow time for a side trip to Washington, DC or colonial Williamsburg to cap off your stay!
This event proudly supports the eastern wine trade through its affiliations with ASEV/ES, WineAmerica, and other key organizations who bring strength to the eastern wine regions and the wine industry as a whole.
