Plan it for me
The world's most original wine fair: 11 lake steamers moored at Zurich's Bürkliplatz serve as floating tasting halls where 160 exhibitors pour 4,000+ wines from 30 countries. Now in its 70th year, Expovina is both a trade event and a major public festival — evening sessions are particularly festive as the ships light up on Lake Zurich. The Club Ship adds a VIP dimension with exclusive masterclasses and private winemaker dinners.
