Henkell Freixenet, the world’s leading supplier of sparkling wine, will be showcasing its extensive portfolio of globally successful cava, sparkling wine, prosecco, crémant and champagne brands as well as its attractive range of wines and spirits at this year’s The Summit of Americas conference (28-31st of March 2025) in Orlando.
The sparkling wine market leader is targeting growth across the American region. The international company will be presenting its unique product diversity at stand number 513. For 2026, Henkell Freixenet sets focus to further consolidate the Global Icon brands in the US in the Travel Retail market introducing innovations for Freixenet and Mionetto.
“We are satisfied with our development last year in the Americas. Freixenet continues to strengthen its position as a leading global brand, and this year we will further elevate its presence with the launch of Freixenet Solare, a new addition and entry into the spirits category that broadens the portfolio and opens the door to new consumption occasions,” states Olive Ramon, Head of Sales Global Travel Retail at Henkell Freixenet.
“Our Mionetto brand maintains its strong momentum, delivering continuous growth, also due to the aperitivo trend. In line with this expansion, we are introducing the new 5cl aperitivo format, designed to meet the needs of key on the go channels and particularly attractive for airlines and cruise lines.”
In Orlando at the Henkell Freixenet booth, visitors will experience the true Aperitivo moment at the dedicated spritz bar where they will be able to taste Mionetto Aperitivo Spritz and Freixenet Solare Spritz, both with no, low and alcoholic versions.
“We look forward to this new edition of the Summit of the Americas in Orlando, marking an exciting new location for the event. The Summit remains a key date in our calendar due to the strong presence and performance of our brands across the Americas region,” Ramon Olives continues. “It provides the ideal platform to meet with our existing business partners, share our plans for the year, present our latest innovations, and align on future priorities. The event also serves as a valuable opportunity to connect with new customers and business partners, expand into additional locations and channels, and further strengthen the presence of our brands throughout the territory.”
From a channel perspective, for Henkell Freixenet airports remain a strategic priority. In the United States, the company will be expanding its footprint with Gratien Meyer crémant, while exploring additional opportunities in locations such as Lima with Freixenet and Mionetto.
Looking ahead, the cruise sector is experiencing significant growth, and the market leader plans to further develop our presence in this booming market.
“We will also be present at Food and Beverage at Sea (SeaTrade) in Miami on 15–16 April, where we will continue the conversations initiated in Orlando and further explore opportunities to expand our footprint within the cruise sector,” Olive says. “This event represents a key platform for deepening our engagement with industry partners and advancing our ambitions in this rapidly growing channel.”

Exclusively for GTR, Mionetto introduces a 5cl Mionetto aperitivo format, designed to meet the needs of key on-the-go channels and to offer the perfect Aperitivo size for airlines and cruise lines.
