This year Vinitaly flies to Canada.

Veronafiere and Vinitaly International Academy (VIA) have teamed up with ICE-Italian Trade Agency in Toronto and two of the leading Canadian Monopolies, Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation (NSLC) and the Newfoundland and Labrador Liquor Corporation (NFLC), to bring Canada Roadshow Executive Seminars to cities in Eastern Canada.

The Canada Roadshow Executive Seminars 2018  will be the very first introduction in Eastern Canada to VIA’s educational and outreach program.

VIA Italian Wine Expert Michaela Morris has been chosen to lead the Executive Seminars which will be addressed for the first time not only to trade professionals, but also to consumers and wine lovers, therefore providing them with the opportunity to taste both classic and lesser-known Italian wines.
