About this event

The China Food and Drinks Fair (CFDF), known in China as the Sugar and Wine Fair, started in 1955 and is called the barometer of the Chinese food industry. Hosted by China National Sugar & Wine Group twice a year, it gathers liquor, food and beverage makers, ingredient and machinery suppliers and the distributors who buy from them. The 115th autumn edition returns to the Nanjing International Expo Center under the theme "Two-Way Sweet Deals, Global Food & Drinks Fair Connections".

Nine core exhibition zones

The 2026 autumn fair covers 200,000 square metres organised by category, with suppliers placed next to the downstream sectors that buy from them so visitors can source, negotiate and partner in one place.

International Wine & Spirits (Hall 3, 2nd floor)
Beverage & Dairy (Hall 2), including Tea Drinks and Med-Food Homology

Concurrent industry summits, policy briefings, product launches, channel matchmaking and trend forums run throughout the three days.
