WINE VISION BY OPEN BALKAN

The largest event of the year in Serbia – the First International Wine Fair “Wine Vision by Open Balkan”, was successfully released at the Belgrade Fair from September 1 to 4, 2022.

Under the auspices of the governments of Serbia, North Macedonia, and Albania, and as part of the Open Balkan initiative, the fair gathered the best wine producers in the region in one place and promoted the entire Balkan as an increasingly popular wine and tourist destination.

The concept and naming of the event were conceived and realized by the creative team of our agency, and visitors had the opportunity to visit thematically differently designed halls.

Creative inspiration was found in the aesthetics of the landscape and the unique ecosystem of the vineyard – better known as “terroir” – which represents the synthesis of climate, soil, climate, as well as the skills of the producers of the best wines in the world. Also, the event is conceptually inspired by the striking convergence of traditional and modern wineries. There, in one place, you could find old, museum exhibits related to growing vines and wine production, but also the most modern LED screens that educated visitors in an interesting and innovative way about the history, origin and types of wine, as well as the production process.

The interior decoration was completed by the installation of an artificial river with real water, which flowed through a part of the ground floor in the hall. Also, the complete branding of over 90 promotional surfaces of various formats contributed to the visual impact of the Wine Vision by Open Balkan. The so-called “Digital grapes” were particularly attractive to visitors, placed in Hall 1 of the Belgrade Fair in four places. Each of these four massive steel installations had a size of 6×5.5m, and a weight of over 3 tons, and on each “bunch” there were 130 LED panels that broadcast different audio-visual content.

Almost 400 exhibitors and wine producers from more than 20 countries participated in this unique event, which was held in as many as six halls – 1, 1A, 2, 3, 4, and 5 – of the Belgrade Fair. More than 230 exhibitors from the countries of the Open Balkan initiative were present at the fair, as well as a large number of wineries from Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia, Italy, France, Argentina, Chile, South Africa…
