On the event of the first Monte-Carlo Wine Festival - International Wine Tasting, we proudly offer a selection of the finest international wines, to our invited guests, wine brokers and experts. There, they will have the opportunity of discovering a selection of excellent oenological products, participating in guided tastings, and taking refresher courses and seminars.

The Event will be held at the prestigious Méridien Beach Plaza Hotel.

The first year, the MCWF will present the latest in innovations from small, medium and large wine companies, giving them the chance to compare their production as well as their management techniques.

If it is true that geography shapes the destiny of a people, it is also true that it determines the diet. An important place is given to gastronomy and therefore to the regional products that naturally compliment and go well with wine. This is a great opportunity for the regions to promote themselves as natural background to the exhibition.

The MCWF is an impressive stage for wine-related educational, cultural and promotional activities. Guests may enjoy workshops, demonstrations, expositions, debates, contests, awards and artistic performances, all of which will enhance their knowledge of wine.

The professional guest visitors of the MCWF are: restaurant and hotel owners, wine bar and shop managers, wine buyers and brokers, oeno-gastronomic experts, yachting firms, professional and the public admirers of the Plaisance industry, boat clubs and associations, automobile clubs, Sophia Antipolis Enterprises and the international press.
