On October 29–30, Parkovy Congress and Exhibition Center hosted Wine&Spirits Ukraine 2025 — one of the most significant events in Ukraine’s wine and spirits industry. Over two days, the platform brought together 60+ Ukrainian and international producers, along with experts, sommeliers, and media in one venue. Participants included both well-known companies and emerging brands presenting collections of wines, craft beverages, and special products for HoReCa and retail.
Ahead of the exhibition, the Wine&Spirits Awards tasting competition took place, featuring around 200 samples of wines, spirits, vermouths, and ciders from Ukrainian producers. A professional jury, which included renowned U.S. wine critic Dr. Matthew Horkey, awarded 173 medals — platinum, gold, silver, and bronze — across categories for wines, ciders, and spirits. For many Ukrainian winemakers, the competition became a launching pad before entering international contests.
The exhibition was held in the
Big Exhibition Hall — a space perfectly suited for events of this scale. The hall operated in an open-space format with brand stands arranged to create a full expo platform and comfortable visitor navigation. The venue’s technical infrastructure ensured smooth operation throughout both days.
At the same time, the complex’s
conference rooms hosted Wine&Spirits Academy educational sessions — a total of 21 masterclasses, lectures, and tastings for industry professionals. The highlight of the program was the first national vertical tasting of wines made from Ukraine’s flagship grape variety Odeskyi Chornyi, organized by the international media group Drinks+ with the support of Wines of Ukraine. The session was moderated by Nataliia Burlachenko, an ambassador of Odeskyi Chornyi and Ukrainian wines on the international stage.
Wine&Spirits Ukraine is an annual platform for developing Ukraine’s wine industry, uniting professionals, producers, and international experts around a shared commitment to quality and growth. Even during wartime, the number of participants continues to rise, and international producers and buyers see strong potential in Ukraine. Exhibition organizer Viktoriia Agromakova announced that in spring 2026 the event will reach a new level of international presence and business opportunities.
Parkovy is grateful to the Wine&Spirits Ukraine team for their trust and for choosing our venue. Hosting an event that shapes the modern face of Ukrainian wine — from young winemakers to seasoned experts, from local stories to global initiatives — is a true honor for us.
