Vini Bagnanti

3rd Edition of Vini Bagnanti not only Wine but also a Food area, the Fair Workshop and a Sensory Trail

On Saturday, June 20, the third edition of Vini Bagnanti, the initiative born out of the collaboration between the Riva degli Etruschi Resort and the Vini Migranti project conceived by Teseo Geri, returns to San Vincenzo.Once again this year it will transform a kilometer of private beach on the Etruscan Coast into a grand itinerary dedicated to artisanal wine, gastronomy and the culture of the area.

On Saturday, June 20, 50 winemakers on the beach at the Riva degli Etruschi resort for an evening of wine, sea, gastronomy and local culture. Not just tastings on the beach, but an event designed to tell the story of the work, stories and visions behind each bottle.

After the success of the first two editions, which registered more than 1,000 participants, Vini Bagnanti returns with an increasingly well-rounded program, built together with Slow Food Condotta Costa degli Etruschi, Slow Wine, University of Gastronomic Sciences of Pollenzo and Banca del Vino di Pollenzo.

The leitmotif of the event will be the concept of “Just”, which will give rise to a path that aims to explore the relationship between wine, environmental sustainability, social responsibility and production identity, focusing not only on the final product but also on the work of the people who work every day in the world of taste.

Side activities

Also for this new edition, the tasting route will be accompanied by a series of side activities designed to deepen the relationship between wine, environment and gastronomic culture:

• Sensory journey with interactive and tasting workshops by the University of Gastronomic Sciences of Pollenzo
• Laboratorio del Giusto, at the central park terrace, organized by Slow Wine and the Pollenzo Wine Bank. The appointment goes beyond the classic tasting to explore the ethical and social aspect of wine production. Through a selection of labels, participants will be guided on a path of reflection and discovery, where flavor marries responsibility and storytelling becomes the spokesperson for all that is profoundly Just
• Food area that will flank the resort’s five restaurants with eateries selected by the Slow Food Costa degli Etruschi convivium
• Thematic areas designed to encourage direct discussion between producers and the public, enhancing the stories, production approaches, and identities of individual companies

Selected companies

The selection of participating wineries, curated by Teseo Geri, follows very precise criteria: territorial identity, sustainability, production consistency and attention to the human and cultural value of wine. An approach perfectly in line with the philosophy of Riva degli Etruschi, a reality that for years has been pursuing an integrated model of hospitality, agriculture and sustainable gastronomic culture.

Wineries will come not only fromItaly, with an important focus on Tuscany, but also from abroad, with companies from Spain, Hungary, Slovenia, Greece and Argentina, offering a picture with an international scope and strongly linked to the diversity of territories and production cultures.

Shore of the Etruscans

Riva degli Etruschi, with more than 60 years of history, today represents an integrated system of hospitality, agricultural production and gastronomic culture deeply linked to the territory.

The resort covers 35 hectares of parkland and agricultural area, with more than 8,000 trees and shrubs, more than 400 accommodations, five restaurants, an organic farm estate and sustainable wine production.

In-house productions include vegetables, ancient grains, the Val di Cornia violet artichoke Slow Food presidium – of which the resort is one of the main producers in Italy -, Tenuta Biliotto’s extra-virgin olive oil, and Riva degli Etruschi’s range of wines, created by Michele Satta ‘s consultancy and developed under the banner of enhancing the territory.

The more than 400 accommodations, including hotel rooms, villas and residences, welcome a diverse audience, while the resort’s five restaurants offer different experiences

Vini Bagnanti

It is precisely from this vision that Vini Bagnanti was born, an event where wine, food, landscape and gastronomic culture converse in a natural way, transforming the beach and resort into a place for producers, operators and enthusiasts to meet and discuss.
