“We have taken an experiential approach this year as we believe it adds to the magic of an event. We have studied the impact of science and psychology on the senses and have seen that smell, sight, touch, taste and sound each play a role in forming memories. With this in mind, it is our aim to create the most unforgettable Good Food & Wine Show ever,” says Maria Chieppa, Managing Director of Fiera Milano Exhibitions Africa, new owners of the Good Food & Wine Show.
