The festival offers an upscale location and serious business opportunities to producers, international distributors, and all professionals dealing with the wine world. It is also a golden opportunity for educated wine lovers, who will get the chance to taste exceptional wines, to develop a network of new wine contacts, while getting the up-to-date news and trends of this important sector.
The MCWF mission is to emphasize vitiviniculture and gastronomy as a whole, while showcasing the participating producers, so that their technical know-how and their products take center stage for three days. To this end, in addition to qualified local and international buyers and distributors, the organizers have invited hotel and restaurant professionals, enological associations, professional sommeliers and, of course, the local and international press.
In addition to tasting, the first MCWF agenda includes various eno-cultural activities. The goal is to highlight the links between enology and culture, emphasizing how wine is a typical fruit of the 'Evolving Art of the Earth', and at the same time take a look at the state of the industry and what the future may bring to the wine world.
Among the many MCWF side activities there are:
