A local farmer's market and Cyber Caf� will feature live tweeting and attendee polling of the wines available at the Expo.

The educational series has been extended to offer three days of seminars featuring top winemakers and industry experts including keynote Kevin Zraly, as part of the 2012 Seminar Program. Consumers and trade can explore a range of topics such as "The One Hour Wine Expert" with Zraly, "Explore the Crus of Beaujolais" with Domaine Louis Jadot, "Get to Know Amarone" with the Wines of Masi, "Armand de Brignac Champagne Experience" and "The Tuscan Gem: Ornellaia Vertical Tasting."
