05-06 October Vinitaly USA – Chicago 2025

After the success of its last edition, Vinitaly is set to return to Chicago on October 5–6, 2025, confirming the iconic Navy Pier as the official venue. This strategic event offers a unique opportunity to engage directly with the North American wine trade in the heart of one of the most vibrant and influential cities in the United States.

With over 10,000 square meters of lakefront exhibition space overlooking Lake Michigan, Vinitaly USA is becoming a key international platform for the promotion of Italian wine, providing access to buyers, importers, distributors, and industry professionals from the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Brazil, and across Latin America.

The 2024 edition welcomed more than 230 Italian producers, featured over 1,650 wines for tasting, and attracted more than 1,500 qualified trade visitors. The two-day program offered a rich lineup of masterclasses, tastings, B2B meetings, and opportunities for education and networking.

For the 2025 edition, Area 39 will take part with its collective of Italian wineries, showcasing their products in a dedicated 70 m² exhibition area.
Participation with the Area 39 collective includes a comprehensive turnkey service, covering all aspects of trade show organization—from stand construction to logistics and shipping—so that participating wineries can focus entirely on building valuable business relationships and expanding their presence in the international market.
