PIAZZA ITALIA

The Italian liquor industry blends the ancient knowledge of apothecaries and farmers. From the Renaissance to today, it has seen the birth of hundreds of artisanal producers, many of which have reached us today and are known throughout the world as ambassadors of good taste and of an all-Italian spirit industry that has won over the world with its brands. ROMA BAR SHOW will celebrate this prized heritage of tradition, culture and history with an area devoted to Italian spirits and liqueurs. In PIAZZA ITALIA centuries-old brands will be presented by the direct descendants of the founding families and established bartenders. Hundreds of traditional products will be available for guests to taste or enjoy in cocktails.

TASTINGS & MASTERCLASSES

ROMA BAR SHOW also includes an interesting schedule with masterclasses and tastings: 4 tasting rooms equipped with cutting-edge technical instruments will be available for exhibitors and visitors to make their experience truly unique.

SIDESHOW

ROMA BAR SHOW is a great chance for the protagonists of the entire food & beverage sector to get together: this is the reason why the Show will include several collateral events taking place in many locations all over the city, in cocktail bars, historical cafés, luxury hotel bars and trendy pubs and restaurants. All the locations will be accurately selected and during the ROMA BAR SHOW they will offer special menus, designed in cooperation with the brands involved in the show.

MEXICO VILLAGE

This year ROMA BAR SHOW will speak Mexican again in an area specifically dedicated to the country and its spirit tradition. Companies and producers (of products distributed in Europe and elsewhere) will feature, introducing their products to the public. Products not yet on the market will also be presented, encouraging new B2B opportunities with the help of the organizers. Mexico Village will be all about tequila, mezcal, raicilla, bacanora, sotol, Mexican whiskey, Mexican rum, pox, Mexican liqueurs, agave syrups and much, much more. 

The area will become a “town square” hosting various events and where brands can showcase their products through presentations, talks, guest bartending and a cocktail bar to celebrate the International Paloma Day. Mexico Village will also be about food, traditional Mexican cuisine, and art. Thanks to the work done in Rome by La Punta Expendio de Agave and its constant search for new drinks and cuisine, a street food area will be included, involving exponents of Mexican cuisine, chefs who will bring to ROMA BAR SHOW the values of a land that is rich in flavors.

COFFEE VILLAGE

Another new addition to ROMA BAR SHOW 2022 is the Coffee Village specifically featuring coffee roasters and craft micro-producers. The role of coffee in bars and beyond, with all its characteristics and diversity, will receive special focus through workshops, tastings and sector experts who, together with chefs and bartenders, will prepare coffee-based drinks. At the Coffee Experience Bar, coffee will be the real hero in mixing, where a spotlight is placed on the ingredient in a challenge that will see participants creating new ways of drinking coffee even at the hottest time of the year.

SEMINARS & TALKS

During the ROMA BAR SHOW, 6 Main Seminars will take place in the Auditorium Capitalis, which is going to host international experts coming from all over the world! More than 800 people among operators and the general public will be given the opportunity to listen to and interact with people who, de facto, have made the history of the world of bars, bartending, the spirit industry and much more.
