The Hong Kong International Wine & Spirits Fair will return for its 15th edition this November. In partnership with the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), the highly anticipated fair will reunite the international wine community from 3–5 November at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
The Hong Kong International Wine & Spirits Fair will return under the new hybrid model, EXHIBITION+.
EXHIBITION+ combines the in-person fair at the Convention and Exhibition Centre, with the online smart business matching platform – Click2Match.
Click2Match will include seminars under the Intelligence Hub from 27 October–12 November. The new EXHIBITION+ model reinvents trade fairs to serve global wine traders from anywhere at anytime.
EXHIBITION+ helps businesses proactively connect with industry partners, with more than 1000 exhibitors expected to attend this year. The 2019 Hong Kong International Wine & Spirits Fair saw 1075 exhibitors and more than 15,000 buyers from from 70 regions and countries in attendance.
Over the three days, guests can take part in seminars, masterclasses, wine tasting sessions, food and wine pairing workshops, wine industry conferences and wine competitions. The in-person fair is an excellent opportunity for buyers to soak up the latest market intelligence and product and marketing developments within the wine industry.
The final day of the fair – November 5, 2023 – is open to the public. Wine lovers aged 18 and above, with a valid ticket, are welcome to visit the fair and join masterclasses, cocktail demonstrations and grand tasting sessions to enrich their wine appreciation. In 2019 the public day attracted over 21,000 wine enthusiasts. Guests are also able to purchase wines on the final day of the international fair.
The 2023 Hong Kong International Wine & Spirits Fair is supported by the Hong Kong Food Council, Hong Kong Food, Drink & Grocery Association, Hong Kong Sommelier Association and The Hong Kong & Kowloon Provisions Wine & Spirits Dealers' Association.

Overall, this was a fruitful experience for us and we enjoyed it very much.” – Dr. Nick Hansen, Whisky Chasers Ltd, United Kingdom.“Anyone who likes wine and spirits should go to the Hong Kong International Wine & Spirits Fair. Most of the alcohol sold by our business is exported to other countries and sold to importers.
