In 2024, during the ASI General Assembly held in Monaco, TSA President Mr. Hsia officially presented Taiwan’s bid with a deep passion for our land and culture. This vision was not only recognized by the Association de la Sommellerie Internationale (ASI), but also led to Taiwan being selected as the host of the 2026 Taipei World Sommelier General Assembly (2026 ASI General Assembly in Taipei).

The official General Assembly of the 2026 Taipei World Sommelier General Assembly (2026 ASI General Assembly in Taipei) will take place in Taipei from May 19 to May 20, 2026.

This is not only a significant milestone for the association, but also an important moment for Taiwan to further connect with the global professional community.

In 2026, we will welcome sommelier leaders from around the world to Taipei. For many association presidents, this will be their first time visiting this beautiful island. We look forward to offering international professionals the opportunity to experience Taiwan’s rich and diverse culinary culture, unique terroir, and the warm hospitality we take great pride in.
