Connect with buyers, suppliers, and industry professionals across the wine supply chain to build new partnerships and business opportunities at IBWSS USA 2027.

20/08/2026

The wine business depends on an extensive network of growers, producers, suppliers and service providers working together to bring products from the vineyard to the market.

Whether your company grows grapes, supplies bulk wine, provides custom-crush services, develops private-label wines or supports producers with laboratory, packaging, bottling, logistics or compliance solutions, you are part of this supply chain.

The International Bulk Wine and Spirits Show (IBWSS) USA gives companies across the wine supply chain a focused platform to meet buyers, find new customers and grow their business in the US market.

IBWSS USA will take place in San Francisco on July 27–28, 2027.

What Is IBWSS USA?

IBWSS USA is a B2B trade show and conference focused on bulk wine, bulk spirits, contract production, private labels, control labels and the services required to bring beverage products to market.

Unlike a traditional consumer tasting event, IBWSS is designed around commercial sourcing and business development. It connects suppliers and service providers with importers, distributors, retailers, hospitality groups, brand owners, entrepreneurs and sourcing professionals.

The show gives buyers an opportunity to compare products, production capabilities, pricing, minimum order quantities and supply-chain solutions under one roof.

For exhibitors, it provides a direct route to the decision-makers responsible for sourcing products, creating brands and selecting production partners.

The 2027 Theme: The Business of Better Sourcing

The theme for IBWSS USA 2027 is “The Business of Better Sourcing.”

Today’s buyers need more than a good wine. They need reliable partners who can help them manage quality, pricing, production, packaging, compliance, logistics and speed to market.

They are looking for suppliers who can help them:

- Source dependable bulk wine
- Develop distinctive private-label and control-label products
- Find suitable custom-crush and contract-production partners
- Improve quality while protecting commercial margins
- Reduce product-development timelines
- Respond quickly to changing consumer demand
- Build more flexible and reliable supply chains

IBWSS USA will bring the companies that provide these solutions together with the buyers who need them.
