The Industry's Only Wine Supply Chain Summit

VinRoutes 2021 digital summit series: Navigating Wine Logistics in a New World

The $364 billion global wine market is experiencing fundamental changes in how and where wine is produced, packaged, transported, distributed, purchased and consumed.

Rather than focusing only on the costs of either your current, or prospective wine supply chain, how can you make money from it?

Launching in the First Quarter of 2021 during an unprecedented time in world history, the VinRoutes digital summit series will fill a vacuum in the wine industry by providing the only content platform that connects an old world business to a new world of supply chain opportunities.

The VinRoutes series will bring the full spectrum of the wine supply chain to you, in a deeply informative, interactive, and even fun, way. Most important, VinRoutes will break down, and demystify, what might have seemed too daunting, expensive, and complex, because your wine deserves to get out there—making you money, and putting smiles on faces.

VinRoutes Digital Summit Series Speakers include wine industry supply chain stakeholders representing wineries and winemakers, transportation providers (ocean ports and carriers, rail, truck), wholesale distributors and retailers (online and brick-and-mortar), third-party logistics providers, warehouse automation, economic development, software and technology providers, experts from academia and industry groups, and others.
