The entrance to the Vinitaly event will, as always, be reserved exclusively to the industry, but the Vinitaly in Verona also includes initiatives for a wider audience.
The most awaited is certainly the Fuori Salone Vinitaly and the City 2018 to be held again in the historic centre of Verona with a long series of events to discover wines, flavours and traditions of the different Italian regions.
