“We had a good time and look forward to it next year. It appeared very successful to me, and I spent the whole day making connections, which is exactly was I was hoping to do.”
Jim Lago – Healdsburg Signs

“From my view point the show was a success for WIN and the local wineries. A recurring theme was, ‘how has this type of show not happened before?’ These folks loved having the option of seeing vendors without needing to travel far to do so. Congratulations!”

April 23^rd, 2013, Healdsburg, CA - The Wine Industry Network (WIN) today announced that they will expand the 2013 North Coast Wine Industry Expo in its second year to accommodate an additional 120 booths making it the second largest wine industry trade show in North America. The Expo will, once again, be held at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds in Santa Rosa on Thursday, December 5, 2013.

This expansion is in direct response to last year’s sold out show and its resulting waiting list that has continued to grow since last December. The new floor plan will now include the Hall of Flowers as well as Grace Pavilion. In addition, the educational sessions will relocate to a new larger facility adjacent to the Hall of Flowers.

“In our first year, booths sold out almost immediately and we knew we needed to find a way to accommodate the growing interest,” said George Christie, Wine Industry Network President. “With over 300 suppliers exhibiting this December, the Expo is becoming a wine industry trade event that every North Coast Winery and Vineyard should plan on attending” adds Christie. “Whether you’re in the vineyard, cellar, tasting room or business office…there’s going to be something here for you”.

The inaugural event in 2012 attracted more than 2,000 attendees and attendance is expected to increase significantly in 2013. “It takes time to establish an event like this, but given last year’s success, we’re expecting a packed house in December,” added Christie. “Traditionally, that’s a time when vineyard and winery principals are busy planning for the upcoming year;this show is going make that planning process easier than ever.”

Registration is now open for the 2013 Show and booths are expected to sell out quickly For more information, visit www.wineindustryexpo.com.

The Wine Industry Network (WIN) announced the launch of a new trade event, the North Coast Wine Industry Expo, scheduled for December 5, 2012 at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds in Santa Rosa, CA.

“Over the last two years we’ve been approached countless times by vineyard and winery owners and local associations, about the need for a regional trade show,” says George Christie, President of WIN. “We believe that this area is absolutely ready to support an event of this caliber… the North Coast deserves a show of its own. Based on the overwhelming interest we’ve already received, we’re expecting the event to sell out…an amazing accomplishment for the first year.”

The North Coast Expo will include a one-day trade show featuring 200 of the industry’s best suppliers along with panel discussions focusing on Sales, Marketing, Production and Vineyard operations. The theme for the show is “2013…Plan for Success”. Topics will focus on latest trends in the industry and exhibitors will be showcasing new products and services that will become available in the upcoming year.

December is typically the slowest time of the year for winery and vineyard operations. The grapes have been harvested, most wines have gone through fermentation, and visitors to the area slow down. It’s a time when decision makers plan for the upcoming year. The show’s number one objective is to help make the planning process that much easier.

“Timing for the event is perfect for winery and vineyard operation looking for a leg up in 2013,” says Christie. “Our goal is to give industry buyers the chance to see what’s new to the market and in some cases, take advantage of special pricing from suppliers looking to finish off the year strong with sales in December. It’s a win-win for everyone involved.”

Booth applications are now being accepted and can be accessed at www.wineindustryexpo.com or by calling 707-433-2557 ext 100. Conference topics and speakers will be announced on August 15th.
