Sustainability: A Commitment Beyond the Cork
This year, the Zurich Wine Festival is taking strides toward sustainability, making it an event that's as good for the Earth as it is for your tastebuds.

Even corks from the event will be recycled. While we've taken steps to offset a portion of our carbon footprint, our central location makes it easy for attendees to walk or use public transport. These efforts highlight the festival's long-term commitment to eco-conscious practices, all in line with providing a memorable wine experience that also respects our planet


The Festival History:
The Zurich Wine Festival was founded in 2020 by Mariyam Seguias and Luiis Franceschi, a wine-passionate dynamic duo. Their goal was to create an exclusive environment where both businesses and consumers could enjoy an innovative and remarkable wine experience.

The first edition of the festival took place in the middle of the pandemic. Despite this limitation, they were able to feature, in a totally safe environment, ten expositors, four masterclasses, and 80 labels and to welcome 500 wine lovers during four days.

The festival has now reached its fourth edition, featuring an expanded wine selection and a wider range of wine-related experiences, and expecting an audience of approximately 3,000 wine lovers and industry experts. This growth underscores the festival's mission, which aims to provide a unique and enriching alternative to traditional wine fairs while also contributing to the growth of the wine industry.

The production of the ZWF is in charge of the Zurich Wine Club Association, which is one of Zurich's largest wine clubs, boasting a community of over 2000 wine lovers.
