National Wine Experience

Washington, D.C

The National Wine Experience (NWE) presented by USA TODAY is America’s premier national wine exhibition featuring wineries from over 30 states across the country. Join us for a unique, fascinating and delicious wine tasting as you sample and compare wine from traditional wine regions with smaller, artisan producers from emerging areas of the country.

The NWE will be held at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. The event will showcase American wine from every region of the U.S. over the course of the May 12-13, 2012 weekend and will also feature specialty food vendors, wine and food pairings, seminars and special privileges for the trade.
