A Walk-Around Wine Exploration at the Holistic Insights Signature WTA Event
Immerse yourself in the sensory exploration of the world of wine and spirits at the WTA signature event “Holistic Insights: Paradoxes in Ukraine’s Import & Export,” featuring a showcase of the Wine Travel Awards community’s finest wines. Scheduled for October 30th from 15:00 to 17:00 Ukrainian time at the Wine and Spirits Ukraine Fair, this event is a must-attend for industry professionals and enthusiasts alike.
Delve into a diverse and exquisite collection of wines during a walk-around tasting, where attendees will have the opportunity to taste and discuss standout offerings from both Ukrainian and international vintners. Notably, the creations of Robert Joseph and Vladimer Kublashvili, including their 2022 K’avshiri White and 2022 K’avshiri Red wines, demonstrate a harmonious blend of ancient winemaking traditions and modern techniques from the vineyards of Kakheti and Imereti, exemplifying the innovation at the core of today’s wine production.
Also featured will be the distinguished Tenuta Manoylo, presenting several of their acclaimed wines: the Passerina (2021 Tenuta Manoylo, Passo del Borgo, Marche IGT Passerina), the award-winning Pecorino (2021 Tenuta Manoylo, Passo del Borgo, Marche DOC Falerio, Pecorino), and the robust Rosso Piceno (2022 Tenuta Manoylo, Passo del Borgo, Rosso Piceno DOC). Their Pecorino 2022 Falerio DOC, a Silver Medal winner at the 27th Japan Wine Challenge 2024, is particularly highlighted for its exceptional quality that continues to elevate the Marche region as a prime destination for wine tourism.
Furthermore, the event will feature unique spirits from Honey Badger, including Nalyvka Blackcurrant, Nalyvka Cherry, and Nalyvka Cornelian Cherry, offering a taste of traditional fruit-infused spirits that are rich in flavor and heritage.
While the tasting is a significant part of our event, the heart of it lies in the insights shared by our invited experts: Robert Joseph and Richard Bampfield. They will discuss evolving global wine trends, the profitable nexus between wine and tourism, and varying preferences across different markets. These discussions will provide a deeper understanding of the current dynamics in the wine industry and offer foresight into its future directions.
Additionally, guests of the event will also hear from top leaders in the Ukrainian wine industry about their experiences, presenting case studies that showcase the resilience and innovation of Ukrainian wine businesses despite challenges and obstacles, highlighting Ukraine’s growing recognition in the international wine community and the opportunities ahead.
This bilingual event, conducted in both English and Ukrainian, is also accessible via Zoom.
This gathering promises to not only enhance your palate but also expand your knowledge of the wine industry’s rich and varied landscape. Join us for a day of exploration and discovery, celebrating the passion, tradition, and innovation that define the vibrant world of wine.
