The Basics

VinFair Melbourne is a bridge between Central & Eastern Europe and Australia.

It’s a borderless experience that links heritage with wine, gastronomy, and the arts.

VinFair brings this connection to life through exhibitions, performances, and conversations.

It opens doors to anyone who is ready to explore beyond the familiar.

From May 2027, we will offer a vibrant program of exhibitions, live performances, installations, dinners, and events dedicated to celebrating CEE art and culture around Australia, with the core events occurring in our host city. VinFair activates the entire city, holding different cultural events in central and decentralised parts of the city to drive awareness and engagement deep into the metropolitan and suburban areas.

Our goal is to drive meaningful connections, foster a deeper understanding between the Central and Eastern European and Australian industries, and open new market opportunities for Central European companies and artists within Australia.

Our program is the first step for visitors to be completely immersed in the food, wine, and art of participating CEE countries among Australian & New Zealand audiences.

Positioned as the definitive event in the Asia-Pacific region for CEE culture, this expo will set a new standard in Australia for cultural, food and wine-industry exchanges.
