Bellavita Riga

Bellavita Expo is the leading trade fair for Italian food and beverages in the Baltic region. As an exclusive centre of expertise, it showcases authentic culinary experiences from every region of Italy. Each year, it opens its doors at the International Exhibition Centre Kipsala in Riga to industry professionals from gastronomy, retail, and wholesale, who can explore the diversity and quality of Italian products here.

Organised by Bellavita Expo Ltd., the fair—whose name stands for "the beautiful life" and the Italian way of living—combines outstanding culinary excellence with a high-quality, internationally oriented business network. The range of products on offer extends from classic specialities such as olive oil, wine, and cheese to innovative delicacies and convenience solutions, always with a focus on premium quality.

A key feature is the international buyer and matchmaking programme, organised in cooperation with the Italian Trade Agency (ICE) and the partner fairs Cibus Parma and TuttoFood Milano. This structured format actively promotes connections between exhibitors and buyers from Central and Northern Europe, opening up new business opportunities in the Baltic market.

Bellavita Expo also sees itself as a platform for knowledge transfer and industry trends. Blind tastings, competitions, and awards give producers the opportunity to have their products evaluated by experts. Exhibitors from the fields of wine, dairy products, meat and charcuterie, fish, fruit and vegetables, confectionery, and delicatessen meet a qualified audience from trade, gastronomy, and the international import and export sector.

The fair is part of a successful, internationally expanding series of events, which includes locations such as London, Amsterdam, Warsaw, Chicago, Toronto, Bangkok, Miami, and Parma in addition to Riga. The modern Kipsala Exhibition Centre provides ideal conditions—from its central location to the inspiring atmosphere in Latvia's vibrant capital. Bellavita Expo Riga thus serves as the key platform for anyone wishing to experience Italian food trends, build business relationships, and discover premium products for the Baltic market.

The Bellavita will take place on 3 days from Thursday, 04. September to Saturday, 06. September 2025 in Riga.
