Attendees will also have a chance to engage in meaningful networking with over 50 leading Italian wine producers and fellow wine professionals—paving the way for future collaborations in India's growing wine ecosystem. “After over a decade, we are excited to return to India with the Top Italian Wines Roadshow. This is more than a tasting, it is a celebration of Italy’s heritage, a gesture of collaboration, and a nod to the dynamic evolution of India’s wine culture,” shared Marco Sabellico, Editor-in-Chief of Vini d’Italia. India’s wine market is currently witnessing a strong upward trajectory. Driven by urbanisation, shifting food preferences, and rising interest in global wine trends, the industry is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 14% by 2030. As imports continue to rise, international wine producers are increasingly viewing India as a key market of the future. With a wine legacy that spans centuries and over 500 native grape varieties, Italy remains a powerhouse in the world of winemaking.
