For the first time ever VinItaly will have a online meeting point, with free wifi. This has been made possible through the very kind sponsorship of the Consortium of Umbrian wines who have given the #winelover group a space on their stand and paid for the wifi.
The #winelover group will bring live updates of VinItaly through a realm of social media (Twitter, FaceBook, Google Plus, Pinterest, ...), blog posts and web TV. The aim is to share our love for wine and our thirst for wine knowledge with wine friends and #winelover-s anywhere in the world.
Since the creation of the #winelover group on Valentine's day of this year the group has continued to grow worldwide uniting sommeliers, MW's, wine professionals, wine bloggers who all want to share their love of wine! We would like to expand this group to any #winelover, whether he/she is a wine professional or not, willing to share his or her wine experiences and wanting to connect with like minded people.
Besides covering what is happening at Vinitaly, there will be also a few activities organized at the #winelovers space. Please find the some highlights of the events planned here below:
- Umbrian wines Master Class: our team of professional wine educators will take you on an Umbrian wine discovery journey
