BOSTON — Wine enthusiasts looking to escape to New England this spring will have an exciting new reason to head to Boston, as the Boston Wine Expo is set to return on March 7–8, 2026. This event will showcase over 100 international wineries, making it one of the largest wine tourism gatherings in the region.
Taking place at the historic Hilton Park Plaza Hotel, the annual expo will turn Boston into a premier global tasting hub, allowing guests to sample wines from celebrated regions such as Sicily, South Africa, Israel, France, Australia, and Bordeaux.

The sessions feature topics such as Sicily DOC, Wines of South Africa, Côtes du Rhône, Wines of Georgia, Golan Heights Winery, Saint-Émilion Bordeaux, and Wines of Australia.
For attendees, the event complements a weekend in Boston, allowing guests to merge international wine culture with the city’s historic sites, waterfront dining, and vibrant nightlife.
