Wine and Gourmet Asia 2010
- Introduction:(Wine and Gourmet Asia 2010)
wine and gourmet Asia is now recognized as the only dedicated platform focusing on the premium fine food, wine and hospitality products trade fair in Asia. Its unique event concept by combining a trade fair with a series of industry side events and the unique sponsoring opportunities offered to exhibitors at the various epicurean dining events (partnered with local Macau Government and various leading hotels in Macau) had created a high quality trade event of it’s kind in Asia!
What our exhibitors said
”wine & gourmet Asia is a good platform for us to meet everybody at one place at one time. And its supporting events such as the Asian Cocktail Championship help to bring up the hospitality service standard in Macau and making the entire scene more vibrant.

What you can expect in 2010
Highlights
Hosted Buyers Program
The Hosted Buyers Program was started in 2009 and received very positive feedback from both exhibitors and visitors alike.
Supported by the Macau Government Tourist Office, the Hosted Buyers Program will be organized again in 2010, bringing in top buyers from major fine food and beverage, wine and spirits importers and distributors from the Southern China region to meet and explore business opportunities with wine & gourmet Asia exhibitors.
For exhibitors whose products are new to this part of the world, this is a great opportunity for your products to be introduced into the Chinese market to our Hosted Buyers.
hotel Procurement Program
wine & gourmet Asia is visited by the executive chefs and F&B purchasing departments of major hotels in Macau and Southern China every year. To maximize their attendance and for our exhibitors to meet face-to-face with these top buyers in Macau, we will be organizing a new hotel Procurement Program at wine & gourmet Asia 2010.
Exhibitors can learn about the buying processes and requirements of these major hotels through several seminars as well as arrange a dedicated appointment schedule with the purchasers.
Exhibitors who have already entered the markets will find the hotel Procurement Program useful to update their knowledge of the various processes or to network with your end users – the chefs themselves.
Strong Supporting Program
The annual supporting events of wine & gourmet Asia are a spectacular highlight and are key visitor draws.
The Opening Ceremony Reception, annual Asian Cocktail Championship, MORS Gold Pin competition which honours the local hospitality professionals, the Macau Culinary Association Pastry Winning Showpiece of intricate food sculptures, a ‘live’ chocolate art demonstration, wine seminars and food tasting events are warmly received by participants and continue to be an integral part of wine & gourmet Asia.
These events are strongly supported by the local and regional industry associations. Exhibitors can take advantage of the supporting events to expand their outreach at wine & gourmet Asia, by providing their products and services to be showcased at these events.
