The IVSA Vancouver Buyers’ Salon returns on September 10, 2025, at The Vancouver Club, British Columbia, Canada. Located along Vancouver’s scenic waterfront, this event provides a professional platform for licensed buyers and trade professionals. The Import Vintners & Spirits Association (IVSA) organizes the salon, promoting direct engagement between producers and buyers. Attendees can also explore nearby historic attractions such as Gastown’s cobblestone streets, the 1914-built Vancouver Art Gallery, and Stanley Park’s Seawall. The salon’s central location ensures easy access for national and international attendees.
Since its inception in the early 2000s, the IVSA Buyers’ Salon has established itself as a vital event for Canada’s beverage alcohol industry. Initially designed as a regional showcase, the salon now attracts over 700 industry professionals per edition. Each session highlights a diverse range of global wines, spirits, and ready-to-drink innovations. Importers and agents use this opportunity to feature their latest offerings to buyers from retail, hospitality, and government channels. Additionally, the show supports emerging market trends by encouraging smaller producers to gain visibility within the BC Liquor Distribution Branch system.
The September 2025 edition will feature curated product zones, new supplier spotlights, and a streamlined experience for professional buyers. Wine and spirit producers can connect with key decision-makers representing restaurants, boutique retailers, hotel chains, and provincial buyers. The show maintains a strong business-to-business format, ensuring focused conversations and meaningful tastings. Attendees benefit from discovering unique international portfolios tailored for the Canadian market. IVSA continues to evolve the salon’s format while maintaining its trusted position as British Columbia’s premier wine and spirit trade tasting. The Vancouver Buyers’ Salon remains a must-attend for those seeking market access, trend insights, and high-quality networking in Western Canada.
