VINORUS.VINOTECH 2026 - exhibition of wine products, equipment and technologies for viticulture and winemaking

The Vinorus.Vinotech Exhibition showcases the full spectrum of equipment, technologies, and materials for viticulture and winemaking, along with finished products — all under one roof. This unique format enables all players in the wine market — producers, suppliers, distributors, retailers, and HoReCa — to effectively collaborate and address both production and sales, procurement, promotion, and marketing tasks.

At Vinorus.Vinotech 2025, 112 exhibitors from Russia, Italy, and Belarus presented their products, including 73 wineries and 39 producers of equipment, components, and materials for winemaking.

The exhibition was held alongside three related industry events: FoodTech Krasnodar (food production technologies), InterFood Krasnodar (food and beverages), and KubanProdExpo (products from Kuban producers). The combined audience exceeded 5,400 visitors, including 2,674 professional attendees at the wine exposition — a 14% growth compared to 2024.

The Vinorus Tasting Competition is held annually as part of the exhibition.
