Winefest Exhibitor Information

Winefest is Calgary's most established all-inclusive wine event! Its popularity spread quickly in 2009 with Edmonton's inaugural year being a huge success. Due to popular demand, an extra tasting session was added in Edmonton! Winefest 2011 also featured private industry and public tastings at both events (see schedule below). The Industry Tastings at Winefest attract wine retailers and restaurateurs from across Western Canada, giving exhibitors a chance to reach hundreds of industry partners.

Winefest is an affordable supplement to your marketing strategy with the opportunity for huge exposure to your target market. Winefest continues to experience growth in attendance and popularity, attracting consumers from all adult age groups who enjoy high household incomes. Over 94% of these consumers rated their Overall Experience at the Festival as Good to Excellent, and over 80% voiced that they'd purchase wine they sampled at Winefest. For additional demographic information please view to the 2010 Festival Report.

Winefest only features wine exhibitors; therefore there is no competition from beer, spirits or other beverages. Winefest attendees are avid wine drinkers who are excited to try new vintages and discover new wines. Winefest strictly enforces a 1 oz maximum sample pour allowing consumers to focus on learning about the various wines being served.
