The Franken area will host a focused showcase for wines and gourmet goods in October 2026. The Vinessio wine event moves from Fürth to Erlangen due to Stadthalle Fürth renovations and will take place at Heinrich-Lades-Halle.
Dates, venue and schedule
The fair runs on Saturday 10 October and Sunday 11 October 2026. Opening hours are Saturday 12:00 to 19:00 and Sunday 12:00 to 18:00. Exhibitors and tasting areas are concentrated in the Heinrich-Lades-Halle, which centralises tastings and on-site sales.
Offer and format
Exhibits include wines, sparkling wines, spirits and delicatessen from domestic and international producers according to the event information. Visitors can taste products at the stands and purchase directly from producers. Day tickets are available via the event ticketshop.
Seminars and tastings
Admission includes wine seminars at no extra cost. These sessions address both beginners and trade visitors and run alongside the tasting stands, creating direct interaction between producers and attendees.
How to prepare B2B prospecting at Vinessio Feria de Vino 2026
- Compile a shortlist of exhibitors from the website and prioritise meetings by product fit. Limit your first contacts to a manageable number per day.
- Bring concise commercial materials: product sheets, wholesale prices and minimum order terms. Short, focused documents speed decisions.
- Use brief guided tastings to verify quality and price points. If a product matches your needs, request samples for in-house testing.
- Close each meeting with a clear next step: timeline for sample evaluation, shipping terms and contact persons. A follow-up email with photos and prices the same day helps maintain momentum.
Who attends and who exhibits
The fair attracts both private wine enthusiasts and trade visitors from retail, gastronomy and hospitality as stated in the event notes. That mix supports on-the-spot sales while enabling commercial negotiations with restaurateurs and distributors.
Practical information for trade visitors
Purchase tickets through the ticketshop and check the exhibitor listing before travelling. The event has relocated from Fürth to Erlangen for 2026 and all practical visitor information is organised around the Heinrich-Lades-Halle timetable.
