SIMEI 2026

SIMEI 2026 takes place from 17 to 20 November 2026 at Fiera Milano in Rho. Organised by Unione Italiana Vini, this is the 30th edition of the world’s leading international trade fair for winemaking and bottling technology. Founded in 1963, SIMEI covers the entire wine and beverage production chain – from vineyard to cellar, from bottling to labelling and packaging – and is held every two years in Milan.

The 2026 edition marks a significant milestone with its 30th edition and a major innovation: SIMEI will be co-located for the first time with Bevertech, a new exhibition organised jointly with Ipack-Ima dedicated to beverage packaging and processing technologies. This creates a unique combined platform covering both wine and beverage production technology, attracting an even wider professional audience.

The 2024 edition welcomed 578 exhibitors from 32 countries and 33,000 visitors, confirming SIMEI’s position as the essential meeting point for winemakers, cellar equipment suppliers, bottling machinery manufacturers, cork producers, packaging specialists and logistics providers. Sustainability and digitalization are the leading themes for 2026, as the industry embraces green technologies and automation to enhance efficiency and reduce environmental impact across the entire production chain.

What to expect

  • Exhibition floor: More than 500 exhibitors from across the world presenting the latest winemaking, bottling, packaging and labelling technologies. The complete production chain from vineyard to glass under one roof.
  • Bevertech (new in 2026): A first-edition co-located exhibition dedicated to beverage packaging and processing technologies, expanding SIMEI’s offer to the broader beverage industry.
  • Technical seminars and workshops: Expert sessions covering the latest innovations in winemaking technology, sustainable practices, automation and digital transformation of the wine supply chain.
  • Networking and business meetings: A major platform for international business development, with producers, equipment suppliers, distributors and investors from 30+ countries.
