Highlights include a Wine Industry Conference on the opening day which will explore ‘The Future of the Global Wine Industry – Trends and Opportunities,’ and will cover such topics as fortifying Hong Kong’s role as a wine hub, wine production and consumption trends in China and building a wine culture in this growing market.
The Fair will also host the 4th Cathay Pacific Hong Kong International Wine and Spirit Competition Award Presentation Ceremony and a gala wine dinner, the ‘Mid-Autumn Night’s Dream of Truffles, prepared by three Michelin-strred chefs, including the three-star Hong Kong-based Italian chef Umberto Bombana. Both the gala dinner and awards ceremony be held on the evening of the 8th.
Events specifically designed to engage the public and excite interest in wines and spirits are scheduled for the final day of the Fair. A Wine Education zone has been created to both cultivate wine appreciation in the public and provide training for industry professionals.
