Mark your calendars Washington, D.C. (October 17th) and New York City (October 19th) for the VINITALY IN THE WORLD TOUR 2011.

VINITALY is striving to become an instrument of permanent EDUCATION and PROMOTION for Italian wines, according to STEVIE KIM, General Coordinator Vinitaly International. Vinitaly can assist Italian wine producers with its expertise on the international level to connect with important players in the wine business.

Special seminars have been set-up for the tour that will enhance importers, distributors, retailers and consumers vision of Italian wines in their marketplace.

VINITALY takes place each year in VERONA and represents over 4,500 producers, producing over 35,000 wines.

ITALIAN WINE SALES in the U.S. have reached RECORD LEVELS. The secrets behind the success include the U.S. love affair with Italy, importance of Italian cuisine on the U.S. palate and the increasing trend of focusing on unique 'terroirs', such as Italy's diverse landscape and various regions of beauty.
