The Exhibitors
ILGIN.IT & GIN & TONIC FESTIVAL - BAR CONVENT BERLIN 2025
The Gin & Tonic Festival brings an elite group of Italian producers to the world's most important B2B stage. Our mission is singular: to establish the excellence of "Made in Italy" in the heart of global mixology.
From October 6th to 8th, 2025, the world of spirits turns its eyes to Berlin. And for the first time, Italy presents itself with unprecedented impact. The internationalization project by ilGin.it and the Gin & Tonic Festival arrives at Bar Convent Berlin, not just as exhibitors, but as a strategic mission to position our finest gins in the catalogs and minds of the most important international buyers, distributors, and decision-makers.
GIN & TONIC FESTIVAL AND ILGIN.IT: A STRATEGIC SYNERGY
Two Italian excellences join forces: on one side, the largest festival dedicated to gin, and on the other, the leading portal for the sector's culture. Together, for a common mission.
Our journey began in 2016 with the vision of the Gin & Tonic Festival: to create a platform to enhance the growing gin culture in Italy, building a solid community year after year and a tour that is now an unmissable event. By our side in this mission is ilGin.it, the most authoritative Italian portal dedicated to the world of gin, founded by Marco Bertoncini and Vanessa Piromallo, two of the leading experts in the sector and members of the prestigious British "Gin Guild."
Our collaboration was officially born in 2024, when we combined the festival's experience with the expertise of ilGin.it, which has since curated the educational masterclasses at every stop on our tour, offering the public and industry professionals a cultural immersion of the highest level.
2025 marks our evolution. We started the year by consolidating our role in the B2B world, managing the gin area at Vinitaly. From there, our B2C tour continued to achieve success in Brescia, Genoa, Milan, and Turin. Now, strengthened by this synergy, we close the year with our second, fundamental B2B stop: Berlin. A natural step for a project that has never stopped growing and looking to the future, joining forces for a greater goal.
OUR MISSION: ITALY AT THE CENTER OF THE GIN WORLD
We want to transform Italy into a global hub for gin excellence, enhancing the raw materials, the distillers' creativity, and the culture that distinguishes us.
In this way, Italian gin will become an ambassador of quality, innovation, and identity worldwide.
The recipe for gin is simple: water, alcohol, juniper, botanicals. But it is in this last element that Italy's strategic advantage lies.
Our country boasts a biodiversity that is unique in the world, a heritage of aromatic herbs, citrus fruits, and botanicals that allows our distillers to create inimitable products.
Our mission is to spread this culture, turning every tasting into a sensory experience.
Our vision is to consolidate the identity of Italian gin on the global stage, becoming a benchmark not only for the quality of the final product but for the excellence of the ingredients and the unbreakable bond with the territory.
OUR SPECIAL AGENTS: THE ITALIAN EXCELLENCES ON A MISSION IN BERLIN
We have recruited several excellent gins for our "Operation Berlin." Each one has been selected for its uniqueness, territorial roots, and solid structure.
They are not just brands: they are the protagonists of our mission and represent the best of Italian production, ready to make their mark and tell their story through their cocktails to an audience of international professionals.
