Great news!

Taste of Italy is scheduled for March 13-14, 2022 in Houston!

For more information, please contact Italy-America Chamber of Commerce deputy director and Taste of Italy director Maurizio Gamberucci at m.gamberucci@iacctexas.com.

Taste of Italy Houston is the largest trade fair in the U.S. devoted exclusively to Italian wine and food products.

Although last year’s event was held virtually, previous years have included more than 100 exhibitors and more than 500 attendees each year, including leading food and wine trade professionals, top buyers, and select food and wine-focused media.

“We are excited to get back to an in-person format,” says fair director and chamber deputy director Maurizio Gamberucci. “Italian companies are eager to get back to Texas and American trade professionals are excited to taste new products and make new connections.”

“There’s a good reason that the Houston-based chamber is ranked number one in north America,” adds wine and food educator Jeremy Parzen, who will be emceeing the fair’s breakout seminars and tastings. “It’s because this event genuinely connects buyers and producers. There are so many amazing success stories from previous years. We are planning to mount our biggest and best fair to date!”

And the news just keeps getting better!

As in years past, we have been able to schedule the fair to coincide with the Houston Rodeo and Livestock Show, one of the city’s signature events and a favorite of visitors from across the U.S. and the world.

Attendees will have the opportunity to attend an evening at the rodeo, including a concert by a top American entertainer (Lizzo was among the performers scheduled for 2020).

Please stay tuned for updates as they become available. We hope to see you in Houston in spring of 2022 when Taste of Italy Houston returns to its in-person format!
