When's the last time you tasted wines from Uruguay? Taste of Italy hosts international winemakers for the first time.

Now in its ninth year, Taste of Italy Houston broadened its horizons.

The event remained the largest of its kind in the United States, devoted exclusively to Italian food and wine products.

But this year, for the first time since the very first edition nearly a decade ago, the fair also welcomed international producers from countries beyond Italy’s borders.

Here is the list of producers from countries other than Italy:

Domaines Aimé Arnoux (France)
Pizzorno Winery (Uruguay)
Antica Bodega Stagnari (Uruguay)
Eccocivi (Spain)
Bodegas y Viñedos Lleiroso (Spain)
Vinum Vini (Undiscovered European Regions and beyond)
