It seems like just yesterday when the first Taste of Italy was held in Houston 10 years ago. Since that time, Taste of Italy has established itself as an annual must-attend event for food and wine professionals, the largest trade fair and festival devoted exclusively to Italian wine and food products.
Along the way, the Italy-America Chamber of Commerce of Texas has expanded its reach with events like Taste of Italy Dallas @ Eataly and countless food and wine tastings organized in cities across the state. The IACC has also partnered with Texas-based trade organizations like the Texas Restaurant Association to promote awareness of Italian products and connect Texas buyers and opinion leaders with Italian companies and producers.
The following are just some of the events organized wholly or in part by the IACC. We couldn’t be more proud of our state’s community of food and wine professionals. We are honored to be part of such a vibrant and thriving marketplace.
