25 JUNE - EXHIBITION DAY 1
Dynamic chefs lead ongoing culinary pop-ups throughout the day, featuring local and Italian dishes designed to pair with premium beverages available across the exhibition floor.
Featuring a leading local restaurant, this pop-up offers a glimpse into one of Italy's most enduring culinary traditions: premium beverages at the table. Through thoughtfully prepared dishes suggested with Italian premium beverages that can be found on the expo floor, visitors can experience how premium beverage serves as an integral part of the shared, convivial experience at the table.
Experience the flavors of Italy through live culinary demonstrations, freshly prepared pizza and pasta by Pasta Fresca, hand-sliced Prosciutto di Parma, imported Italian cheeses and authentic regional specialties. Throughout the day, guests can enjoy freshly stretched mozzarella, made on-site, bringing Italy's rich culinary traditions to life through taste, craftsmanship and experience.
Join distinguished guests, industry leaders and partners as we officially open Premium Beverage Experience Vietnam 2026. The Opening Ceremony and Ribbon Cutting marks the beginning of the event, celebrating international collaboration, innovation and new opportunities across the premium beverage, food and hospitality sectors.
As hospitality, tourism and consumer behavior continue to evolve across the region, Southeast Asia is becoming one of the premium beverage industry’s most closely watched markets. But success requires understanding the distinct dynamics shaping each country. Insights from local importers, hospitality leaders and market analysts offer concrete takeaways on the opportunities, challenges, and evolving expectations defining the region’s next phase.
Join WIWS for a light networking reception featuring premium beverages from women-owned and women-led brands, shared by participating importers and producers. The gathering offers an opportunity to connect with industry peers, celebrate the achievements of women across the beverage sector, and build relationships that extend beyond the event.

The Market Shapers Awards recognize the individuals and organizations making a significant impact on the growth, visibility and success of Italian premium beverages in the market. Honoring leaders across importing, distribution, retail, hospitality and education, the awards celebrate those helping shape the future of Italian premium beverage through innovation, advocacy and market development.
As premium beverage and hospitality culture continue to evolve across the region, a new generation of sommeliers is helping redefine how guests discover, experience and connect with premium beverages. Moderated by Vietnam Sommelier Association Vice President, Le Hoang Khanh Vi, and featuring voices from four Southeast Asian countries, the discussion and tasting will share perspectives on evolving consumer expectations, service culture, education and the realities of building hospitality careers across distinct regional markets, while integrating premium beverage tastings that align with current trends.
Far more than a pre-dinner drink, aperitivo is rooted in atmosphere, ritual and the way hospitality brings people together. Inspired by United Experience’s Dialogue in Motion format, this interactive aperitivo experience invites guests to move between hosted tasting tables led by industry leaders, exploring diverse premium beverage-based serves, curated bites and local interpretations of Italian aperitivo culture. Designed around conversation, discovery and social interaction, the session explores how restaurants, hotels, bars, retailers and hospitality professionals can create more memorable and place-driven guest experiences through flavor, storytelling and the art of gathering, while inspiring guests to bring elements of those experiences into their own homes and social rituals.
