New Zealand Winegrowers has announced it will be exhibiting at Wine Paris for the first time in early February and will be bringing a strong presence to the show.
In total there will be over 70 New Zealand wineries from across eight regions at the Fair, showcasing the depth of New Zealand wine. The New Zealand Pavilion will host 23 exhibitors, and represent over 40 wineries and a further 18 New Zealand wine companies will be exhibiting independently.
Chris Stroud, New Zealand Winegrowers’ Market Manager UK Europe said: “We are delighted to be attending Wine Paris for the first time. This is an increasingly important fair in the global trade calendar, so it is essential that New Zealand has a strong presence.
“Any company looking to list or find out more about New Zealand wine, should certainly come and visit us.
“The New Zealand Wine Pavilion will act as an information hub for all New Zealand wineries at Wine Paris. We look forward to welcoming attendees, showcasing our distinctive wines and supporting the growth of New Zealand wine around the world.”
While New Zealand is widely known for its Sauvignon Blanc – and visitors will discover the diversity of the grape at the pavilion – other classics including Chardonnay and Pinot Noir will be available to taste alongside red blends and aromatic varieties. Smaller planted varieties, such as Albariňo and Grüner Veltliner, as well as Sparkling, Rosé and lower alcohol styles will also be on show at the Fair.
In the year to June 2025 New Zealand’s wine exports totalled more than $2.01bn and went to more than 100 countries.
New Zealand Winegrowers said it was particularly delighted to welcome a number of award-winning winemakers and producers to its pavilion.
