Welcome to IWINETC

On behalf of Wine Pleasures and the entire team behind IWINETC 2015, welcome to Reims and La Champagne. There’s no doubt that wine and culinary tourism continues to look to a brighter future with many published studies (some presented here at the conference in the talk programme) pointing to continued optimism. IWINETC brings together industry professionals from over 40 countries and it remains our passion to deliver a world-class insightful conference talk programme, to drive profitable business connections at both the exhibition area and workshop event and create inspirational networking opportunities during evening events and post conference Champagne Tours. Yesterday’s Welcome Reception held in the delightful City Hall of Reims, where some 150 conference delegates enjoyed an evening of networking kicked IWINETC 2015 off in style. IWINETC brings together a community of over 250 wine and wine and culinary tourism professionals. We strive hard to include talks based on needs and for that reason the conference programme offers 3 talks to choose from at each of the scheduled session slots and if that is not enough there is a large exhibition area to keep you busy with plenty of opportunities to discover grape escape ideas and taste wines from Croatia, Georgia, Italy, Spain and of course Champagne. Some exhibitors will be running competitions and raffles so make sure you take time out to participate. My hope is that your time with us in Reims and La Champagne is a memorable one and you gain valuable knowledge from the conference talk programme and make many profitable business connections with industry professionals across the globe.

2015

We hope you enjoy your time with us in Reims. Anthony Swift IWINETC Director

The old Museu de Vilafranca- Museu del Vi, which dates back to 1935 is the first wine museum to be opened in Spain. Its. In the late 90s, the organization was outlawed from the official museums in Catalonia.

A thorough overhaul began (both architectural and museographical) to bring a vast heritage to legality and to accomplish the requirements of a twenty-first century museum. The efforts were rewarded in 2011 with the entrance of the museum in the official register of museums of the Generalitat de Catalunya. Highs and Lows of this achievement and lessons to be learned.

Travel motivations are changing. More and more, travellers are looking for destinations and businesses that offer a “taste of place” - one that goes beyond simply savouring wines and food.

The Ontario Culinary Tourism Alliance (OCTA) has significant expertise creating these Best Practices and developing strong relationships along the food tourism value chain. Their EAT(tm) destination development supports a holistic approach to economic development in the process of creating tourism experiences.
