It seems like just yesterday when the first Taste of Italy was held in Houston 12 years ago. Now, in collaboration with the Italian Chamber of Commerce of West Canada, Taste of Italy has established itself as an annual must-attend event for food and wine professionals, becoming the largest trade fair and festival devoted exclusively to Italian wine and food products across not only Texas but also Canada.
Over the years, the Italy-America Chamber of Commerce of Texas has expanded its reach with events like Taste of Italy Dallas @ Eataly and Taste of Italy in El Paso, in addition to countless food and wine tastings organized in cities across the state. Additionally, the IACC has partnered with Texas-based trade organizations, such as the Texas Restaurant Association, to promote awareness of Italian products and connect Texas buyers and opinion leaders with Italian companies and producers.
We couldn’t be more proud of our state’s community of food and wine professionals. We are honored to be part of such a vibrant and thriving marketplace.
