The Specialist Importers Trade Tasting (SITT) has announced dates for Autumn 2026, returning on 21 September at St Mary’s Church in London and on 23 September at etc.venues in Manchester. 

The organiser said that further updates on exhibitors, masterclasses and special features will be announced soon. 

On the upcoming event, commercial director, Samantha Halliday, commented: “In a challenging market, events like SITT play an increasingly important role in helping buyers cut through noise and discover specialist producers in a focused, efficient way.  

“We’re looking forward to another strong series this autumn, with a great mix of importers, new discoveries and returning favourites. We’d encourage buyers to register early to make the most of what’s on offer.” 

Meanwhile, Julie Mills, director of Vinomondo, added: “For us SITT is very useful for touching base with existing suppliers and having the time and space to explore possible new avenues. I find the relaxed, unhurried atmosphere allows time to engage with both exhibitors and contemporaries.” 

David Jones, owner of Bier Hius, said: “It’s a great way of meeting current suppliers, trying new wines, along with meeting potential new suppliers as well as enjoying masterclasses.”

More information is now available on the SITT website. Registration to visit is also open.
