The Savor Quality from Europe campaign sends warm holiday greetings and an early look at its 2026 North American Events Program. Co-financed by the European Union, this three-year initiative unites Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG and artisanal olive oils from APOT – Tuscan Olive Oil Producers Association, bringing Tuscany's finest products, as testimonials of European quality products, to audiences across the U.S. and Canada. Through immersive seminars, press events, and walk-around tastings, media, buyers, and trade guests will explore Tuscan traditions as an expression of Europe's broader food and wine culture, while meeting the producers behind these quality products. Attendees will discover the stories, techniques, and heritage that define Europe's excellence in wine and olive oil.
