The North Coast Wine Industry Expo (WIN Expo) provides industry suppliers and service providers with direct access to the greatest concentration of Winery and Vineyard buyers anywhere in North America.
December is traditionally a time when winery and vineyard principals develop and create their purchasing plans for the upcoming year. WIN Expo's successful #ExpoDeals program provides winery buyers and principals with end-of-year specials and discounts offered exclusively from WIN Expo Exhibitors. This unique opportunity allows buyers to explore a convenient one-day-only "shopping experience" while on the trade show floor, making it easier to browse the latest and most innovative products and services while being able to chat directly with sales representatives and support teams.
WIN Expo partners with industry associations throughout the North Coast to ensure maximum exposure for our exhibiting companies and drive additional attendance to the show. WIN Expo also utilizes social media, online advertising, direct marketing campaigns, direct winery networking and print advertising to ensure successful events year after year for our exhibiting companies.
Finish your year strong and get a jump on the 2024 selling season by becoming an Exhibitor at the 12th Annual North Coast Wine Industry Expo being held on Thursday, December 4, 2025 at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds in Santa Rosa, CA!

We are committed to keeping your e-mail address and other non-public information confidential. We do not sell, rent, lease or give away our attendee or exhibitor contact information to any third parties, and we will not provide your personal information to any third party individual, government agency, or company at any time unless compelled to do so by law.
We will use your e-mail address solely to provide timely information about WIN Expo and updates pertinent to your participation as an exhibiting company.
WIN Expo will maintain any contact information you send to us via e-mail in accordance with applicable federal law.
You will receive SPAM emails from unknown solicitors offering to sell you attendee lists or lodging room blocks for WIN Expo. These companies are not affiliated with WIN Expo, and do not have the attendee information they are claiming to sell.
If you look at the sender's email address, you will see these emails are not originating from one of our company domains (@wineindustryexpo.com, @wineindustrynetwork.com, or @wineindustryadvisor.com).
The only other authorized companies that work with WIN Expo are: our Official Caterer (Sonoma County Catering Co.), our Exhibitor Services Partner (Rossi Expositions) and our Lead Retrieval service (Boomset).
We cannot state this enough: We do not sell any of our event lists; Exhibitor Lists or Attendee Lists, and we do not sell lists from previous events. In an ongoing effort to curb the number of calls and emails our Exhibitors do receive, our Exhibitor Listings on the web site have never contained email addresses, staff names, or phone numbers for primary contacts: https://wineindustryexpo.com/information.php#exhibitorlist
We also list ourselves as an Exhibitor, and we see the same emails hitting our inboxes offering to sell us our own list. Even offering lists for other shows that we are not participating in... this is not a new tactic for spammers and list sellers.
We have received reports that unauthorized companies, such as Global Housing & Lodging Services, HLS Global, Otrix Housing Services, and others, may pose as official lodging / hotel room block contacts for WIN Expo and coupons, deals or other discounts for using their service - These companies are not affiliated with WIN Expo.
For your own protection, please exercise caution when making hotel and travel arrangements with such entities. WIN Expo only guarantees hotel room rates, availability, benefits and protection for reservations made through our official hotel partners. If you choose to book with a vendor not endorsed by WIN Expo please verify their credentials before giving them any payment information and independently confirm that your reservations have been made and will be honored by directly contacting your chosen hotel.
We have spoken to our attorney about this over the last several years, and they have advised that it is virtually impossible to prevent anyone from sending someone else an email claiming that they have something to sell. If they do not offer their own “unsubscribe” feature in their emails, then they are technically breaking CAN-SPAM Act, GDPR, CCPA, and subsequent laws, as well as being generally bothersome and rather annoying.
You can block all of them that hit your inbox offering to sell attendee lists or hotel room blocks - Again, these companies are not affiliated with WIN Expo or Wine Industry Network.
Pro Tip: If you’re using Microsoft Outlook as your email client, you can right click their email and select “Junk -> Block Sender or Block Senders Domain”. These spammers also typically use “rolling email addresses” meaning they will just use a different sending address once it gets blocked. You can also contact your Internet Service Provider to see if there’s anything they can do to help mitigate incoming SPAM.
All Exhibitors participating in the North Coast Wine Industry Expo Trade Show & Conference are required to carry general liability coverage from an insurance company in good standing with minimum policy limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in all.
Exhibitors may contact their own insurance provider, however we have made arrangements to acquire this coverage at significant savings by purchasing as part of a group through our certified WIN Expo Insurance Provider, Brandt Insurance. They are offering some very competitive rates and we encourage you to check them out.
Specific Requirements are listed within the Exhibitor Registration Packet.
