The Boston Wine Expo is set to take place on March 7 and 8 at the Hilton Boston Park Plaza, offering a unique opportunity for wine enthusiasts to explore a wide array of wines from around the globe. This culinary event is distinct from the longer Wine & Food Festival, featuring tastings from over 100 wineries across multiple regions, including renowned wine areas such as Sicily, Bordeaux, Rhone, Georgia, Israel, South Africa, and California.

Raffaele Scalzi, the expo director and representative of Scalzi Hospitality Corp., emphasizes that this year’s event will provide a well-rounded experience, combining both education and enjoyment. The expo has been revitalized after a hiatus in 2018, and it aims to recreate the charm of its inception in 1991 by the Boston Guild of Oenophilists.

The event will consist of two two-hour tasting sessions each day, designed to foster a more intimate atmosphere compared to past years. Attendees can also participate in various seminars focusing on specific wine regions or varietals, such as a South African chenin blanc course or a Bordeaux wine tasting led by winemakers themselves.

Tickets for the sessions are priced at $89 for the earlier tasting on Saturday and $93 for later ones, with seminar fees ranging from $42.66 to $68.39.
