Cortina Summer Party 2026
The Cortina Summer Party 2026 is once again one of the most exclusive and eagerly anticipated events of the summer in Cortina d’Ampezzo. An event that combines fine dining, conviviality, and breathtaking scenery in the heart of the Dolomites.
The Summer Party offers an outdoor experience that goes far beyond a traditional picnic, transforming into a day dedicated to flavor, style, and celebrating the region’s finest products. Every year, the event attracts hundreds of participants who share a passion for fine cuisine and the elegant yet informal atmosphere that characterizes the event.
The event’s format revolves around a refined gourmet picnic: numerous food stands, run by chefs, restaurateurs, master pastry chefs, and baking professionals from various Italian regions, offer freshly prepared specialties, accompanied by a selection of wines and other premium beverages. The food and wine tour allows participants to sample high-quality dishes while strolling through meadows and woods, in a relaxed atmosphere where every detail has been carefully curated. Live music, entertainment, and opportunities for socializing further enrich the day—elements that have made the Cortina Summer Party a must-attend event of the Dolomite summer.
One of the event’s hallmarks is the authentic Tyrolean-style dress code, which has now become a true tradition. Guests are invited to attend wearing outfits inspired by Alpine culture; at the end of the day, prizes are awarded for the best women’s and men’s outfits. There will also be a charity raffle, which adds a charitable purpose to the event and contributes to its convivial atmosphere.
Thanks to its combination of signature cuisine, fine wines, unspoiled nature, and a focus on the guest experience, the Cortina Summer Party is one of Cortina d’Ampezzo’s most iconic summer events, showcasing the region through an original format that blends elegance, hospitality, and the authentic spirit of the mountains.
