The Gourmets Fair began with the philosophy of being a meeting point for delicatessen manufacturers and consumers. It is currently the reference event in Europe’s quality gastronomy industry.

The 1st Gourmets Fair was held in Madrid –in the Convention Pavilion in Casa de Campo- on April 2-5, 1987, with the participation of 73 exhibitors and 8,000 visitors.

In 1992 the State Secretary of Commerce lent the fair its international character, and it became the Club de Gourmets International Fair.

In 2007 it became a full member of the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry, UFI, as well as an Official Fair in the Madrid Community.
In April 2008, the twenty-second edition of the Gourmets Fair was held with HRM the King of Spain acting as Honorary President. It received 70,808* professional visitors, with 1,243* exhibitors and 45,000* products displayed.

The round tables, conferences, competitions, exhibitions and other parallel activities reflect the vanguard spirit which has always distinguished Grupo Gourmets.

The 25th Club de Gourmets International Fair will take place on April 11-14 and April in pavilions 4,6, 8 and 10 of IFEMA, Feria de Madrid, with plenty of space to accommodate its growing demands, and premises and services in tune with the fair’s leading position.
