The mission of Volcanic Wines International (VWI) is to lead the global Volcanic Wine Movement by defining its identity and providing educational and promotional opportunities for volcanic wine producers worldwide. The 1st and 2nd International Volcanic Wine Conferences (2018 and 2019) played a key role in uniting volcanic wine regions and establishing the “Volcanic Wine Brand.” Subsequent editions in 2023 and 2024 built on this success, further elevating the category’s global profile. VWI’s vision is to position volcanic wines as a premium category, celebrated for their exceptional quality and profound sense of place. The 5th International Volcanic Wine Conference will take place in June 2026, with location and details to be announced soon.
