Five Unforgettable Days in Paris.
For the second time this year, our journey took us to the French capital, the City of Lights, which once again welcomed us with open arms. This time, another exceptional opportunity brought us to Paris. From 17 to 21 October 2026, we proudly represented Nestville Whisky at the prestigious international trade fair SIAL Paris 2026.
Every two years, this major event brings together thousands of exhibitors, producers, business partners and industry professionals from around the world. It provides a platform for showcasing the latest food industry trends, innovations and products. Above all, it creates opportunities for new business connections and partnerships across continents.
From the First Handshake to the Final Toast
When the exhibition halls opened their doors on Saturday morning, we knew that five unforgettable days awaited us, filled with inspiration, interesting encounters, new connections and experiences we would remember for a long time. For several days, the Paris Nord Villepinte exhibition centre became our second home. Together with the entire Nestville team, we took our places at our stand and welcomed the first curious visitors with a smile.
We proudly shared the story of Nestville Whisky, its distinctive character, traditional distilling craftsmanship and the precision reflected in every drop of our whisky. From grain to glass, we craft our whisky at home, at Nestville Distillery. All around us, glasses clinked, conversations flowed in languages from across the globe, and the lively atmosphere captured the spirit of such a major international event.
Before we knew it, the first day of the trade fair was slowly drawing to a close. Yet four more exciting days still lay ahead. And as we soon discovered, each would bring its own atmosphere, new faces and stories.
The second day greeted us with the same vibrant energy, but also with entirely new opportunities. More visitors and potential business partners stopped by our stand, admiring the Nestville Whisky bottles and discovering the story behind our brand.
Different Languages, Diverse Cultures, One Shared Passion
Every conversation was a little different. Some visitors wanted to learn more about our production process. Others admired the design of our bottles. Many were especially eager to discover the flavours behind the name Nestville Whisky. These moments reminded us why participating in international trade fairs matters so much. It is not just about presenting products, but also about personally sharing the values that guide everything we do.
The third and fourth days followed a similar rhythm. From early morning until the exhibition halls closed, our stand became a meeting place for new connections, tastings and business discussions. We met people with different experiences, cultural backgrounds and perspectives on the world, yet they all shared a common interest in quality products and the stories behind them.
As a family-owned company, we value traditions, experience and the principles passed down from generation to generation. That is why personal encounters mean so much to us. We believe that mutual trust forms the foundation of every successful partnership. Behind every achievement stand people who dedicate their time and effort to making it happen.
The Lights of Paris Have Faded, but New Opportunities Remain
And then came Wednesday, 21 October. The final day of SIAL Paris 2026. The place that had become an inseparable part of our lives for five days was slowly saying goodbye. There were still final conversations, last handshakes, exchanges of contact details and smiles shared with the people we had met throughout the event.
Our participation in SIAL Paris 2026 marked another important step for Nestville Whisky. It helped us develop international partnerships and increase brand awareness beyond our home market.
We would like to thank everyone who took the time to visit our stand over the past five days, taste Nestville Whisky and show an interest in our story. We truly appreciate every conversation, every new connection and the trust you have placed in us.
Cheers, friends! Here’s to many more remarkable experiences and stories that we look forward to sharing with you soon!
