Planning your time at Veronafiere in April 2027

Vinitaly, held alongside Agrofood Club, SOL, and ENOLITECH at Veronafiere from April 11 to 14, 2027, is one of the largest wine and spirits trade events in Europe. The Veronafiere campus spans multiple pavilions and draws tens of thousands of trade visitors over four days, making it genuinely difficult to walk without a plan. Producers from across Italy and international exhibiting nations fill the halls, and without advance prioritization a buyer can lose hours to unscheduled tastings and navigation between distant stands.

The five exhibitors featured in this Shared Spotlight represent a practical first-day route for buyers with sourcing briefs across Italian and French wine and spirits. CAVIT SC brings the scale of Trentino's cooperative model, covering native varieties and Trentodoc sparkling. Nonino Distillatori in Friuli dal 1897 addresses premium Italian grappa for on-trade and import portfolios. BELLAVISTA presents Franciacorta DOCG méthode classique sparkling and Lombardy still wines for fine dining and specialist retail. On the French side, LES GRANDS CHAIS DE FRANCE SAS offers consolidated multi-region volume sourcing and négociant capability, while DOMAINES PAUL MAS covers the Languedoc across entry-level, premium, and certified-organic tiers. Together they address a wide range of buyer jobs without requiring a cross-hall scramble.

Why these exhibitors

A set built around concrete buyer jobs, not geography alone

The five exhibitors in this Shared Spotlight were not selected to represent every category at Vinitaly. They were grouped because they collectively address sourcing briefs that frequently appear on the same buyer's agenda: scalable cooperative supply from Trentino (CAVIT SC), authenticated heritage grappa for premium on-trade listings (Nonino Distillatori in Friuli dal 1897), DOCG Italian sparkling for fine dining and hotel accounts (BELLAVISTA), consolidated French multi-region volume (LES GRANDS CHAIS DE FRANCE SAS), and a single Languedoc supplier covering entry-level through organic-certified tiers (DOMAINES PAUL MAS). A buyer working across more than one of these briefs will find that visiting all five in sequence is more efficient than sourcing the same categories separately across the full show floor. These are paid placements. TradeShowIntel does not rank exhibitors or certify their suitability for any specific commercial relationship.

How to use this Shared Spotlight

Download the floor map before you arrive Veronafiere releases pavilion maps ahead of the show through the official Vinitaly website. Cross-reference each exhibitor's booth number against the map as soon as assignments are published, and note which pavilion each company occupies so you can cluster your visits efficiently.
Book appointments 2 to 3 weeks in advance All five exhibitors in this guide are export-oriented and typically field multiple sales contacts at the show. Reaching out before April to confirm a tasting slot or a brief meeting reduces waiting time at the stand and ensures the right commercial contact is present.
Walk the Italian producers first, then the French pavilion CAVIT SC, Nonino Distillatori, and BELLAVISTA are Italian producers likely grouped in Italian regional pavilions. LES GRANDS CHAIS DE FRANCE SAS and DOMAINES PAUL MAS exhibit under French or international sections. Completing the Italian cluster first, then moving to the French exhibitors, limits backtracking across the campus.
Use the exhibitor cards as a tasting brief, not a checklist Each card in this guide identifies the specific buyer profile each stand serves. Read the relevant card before entering a stand so your questions are focused on range, pricing tiers, and logistics rather than general discovery, which keeps each meeting to a productive 20 to 30 minutes.

Floor-planning tip Block the first two hours of April 11 for the Italian producers in this guide and reserve a 90-minute window on April 12 for the two French exhibitors, leaving buffer time between meetings to account for the walking distance between Veronafiere pavilions.

TL;DR

5 stops worth planning

Suggested floor route

Italian cluster first, French pavilion second

Starting with CAVIT SC, Nonino Distillatori, and BELLAVISTA in the Italian regional sections before crossing to LES GRANDS CHAIS DE FRANCE SAS and DOMAINES PAUL MAS in the French or international area keeps the route directional and avoids repeated crossings of the Veronafiere campus.

CAVIT SC

Second-tier cooperative consortium uniting 11 Trentino wineries, 5,250 winegrowers and over 60% of the region's vineyard area to produce still wines and sparklers (Altemasi Trentodoc, Mastri Vernacoli, Bottega Vinai, Charmat lines).

About

CAVIT SC (Cantina Viticoltori del Trentino) is a second-tier cooperative consortium headquartered in Trento, Italy, founded in 1950. It unites 11 associated wineries and approximately 5,250 grower-members who together cultivate over 60% of Trentino's vineyard area. The portfolio spans still DOC wines, Metodo Classico Trentodoc under the Altemasi label, native-variety lines under Mastri Vernacoli, Horeca selections under Bottega Vinai, and the premium Trentini range. The group employs around 230 people and recorded consolidated revenue of €253.3 million in FY2023/24.

Exports account for 75.7% of revenue, with the United States as the group's primary market and a confirmed leadership position in the Pinot Grigio segment. Supply consistency is underpinned by the PICA precision viticulture platform, developed in 2010 with the Edmund Mach and Bruno Kessler foundations, which enables integrated vineyard management across a member base averaging only 1.2 hectares per grower. The cooperative holds ISO 14001 environmental management certification and AEO (Authorised Economic Operator) status for non-EU export logistics.

At Vinitaly

At this edition of Vinitaly, CAVIT presents two label relaunches framed around the concept of rediscovery as evolution. The new Pinot Bianco Bottega Vinai is the result of four years of agronomic research across Alto Garda and western Vallagarina, vinified exclusively in steel to preserve varietal freshness and moderate alcohol. Alongside it, the revived Schiava Cum Vineis Sclavis, sourced from selected old vineyards and vinified in a traditional red style, brings a native Trentino red back into the export-ready Trentini Premium line. Both releases reflect the cooperative's focus on terroir identity and accessible quality across on-trade and retail channels.

Nonino Distillatori in Friuli dal 1897 is a family-run distillery based in Friuli, Italy, with operations tracing back to 1897.

Bellavista's range spans non-vintage and vintage cuvées, attracting buyers focused on premium Italian sparkling wine for on-trade and fine retail placement.

About

Domaines Paul Mas is a family-owned wine producer headquartered in Montagnac, Hérault, in the Languedoc region of southern France. Founded in 2000 by Jean-Claude Mas, the estate has grown to approximately 900 hectares of vines across 15 to 17 châteaux and domaines, with a workforce of around 200 people. The portfolio spans four distinct brand tiers: the fruit-driven, value-positioned Arrogant Frog; the flagship Paul Mas range; the premium Vignes de Nicole cuvées; and the ultra-premium, small-volume Clos Astelia single-estate project in Pézenas, which produces four cuvées including Viognier, Grenache, Picpoul, and Cabernet Sauvignon.

The estate produces 22 to 25 million bottles per year and exports to more than 80 countries through established subsidiaries, with Japan as its founding export market. Languedoc terroir allows the domaines to work with approximately 50 grape varieties, giving buyers access to an unusually wide varietal range from a single producer. On the sustainability side, all owned vines carry Terra Vitis certification, HVE Level 3 applies across the portfolio, and more than 23 percent of the vineyard area is certified organic, providing documentation that increasingly required by European retail buyers.

At Vinitaly

Domaines Paul Mas has participated in Vinitaly in prior years, most recently pouring its Languedoc cuvées from a dedicated stand in Hall D. For the 2027 edition at Veronafiere, no booth number has been published as of the time of writing. Visitors with interest in multi-brand Languedoc sourcing, from the entry-level Arrogant Frog range through to the limited Clos Astelia cuvées, should check the official Vinitaly 2027 exhibitor directory or contact the company directly to confirm stand location before arriving on the show floor.

The event runs from April 11 to April 14, 2027 at Veronafiere in Verona, Italy. Vinitaly, Agrofood Club, SOL, and ENOLITECH are co-located on the same campus across the four days.

Who is this Shared Spotlight guide intended for?

This guide is written for wine and spirits trade buyers, including importers, distributors, on-trade purchasers, and specialist retailers, who want to plan a deliberate route around a specific set of exhibitors rather than walking the full show floor without a structure. It is not intended for end consumers.

Which halls or pavilions should I prioritize for the exhibitors in this guide?

Veronafiere pavilion assignments for 2027 had not been published at the time this guide was written. Italian regional producers such as CAVIT SC, Nonino Distillatori, and BELLAVISTA are typically located in Italian national or regional pavilions, while LES GRANDS CHAIS DE FRANCE SAS and DOMAINES PAUL MAS are usually found in French or international exhibitor sections. Check the official Vinitaly floor map once booth numbers are released, which typically happens four to six weeks before the show opens.

How do I contact the exhibitors listed in this guide before the show?

Each exhibitor card in this Shared Spotlight includes a direct link to the company's profile page where contact and booking information is available. Reaching out two to three weeks before the April 11 opening is advisable for securing a tasting appointment with the appropriate commercial contact for your market.

Does inclusion in this Shared Spotlight mean TradeShowIntel recommends these exhibitors?

No. The five companies in this guide are paid placements. TradeShowIntel does not evaluate, rank, or endorse exhibitors. The guide is designed to help buyers plan a time-efficient floor route around a coherent set of sourcing categories, not to certify the suitability of any supplier for a specific commercial relationship.
