VinoVip Cortina 2026

VinoVip Cortina 2026: The world of wine takes center stage once again in Cortina d’Ampezzo with the 15th edition of the biennial event conceived and organized by Civiltà del bere.

July 12 and 13, 2026, will be two days dedicated to wine culture, discovery, and exchange, in a unique atmosphere that blends winemaking excellence with the beauty of the Dolomites.

The program opens with the Italian Wine Summit, an in-depth event featuring talks, meetings, and masterclasses dedicated to the industry’s major challenges: innovation, sustainability, the market, and the future of wine. Among the most anticipated events are the talk show “The Tenors of Italian Wine, ” featuring leading figures from the national wine scene, and the presentation of the Pino Khail Award, an honor dedicated to promoting Italian wine around the world.

The event continues with tastings and sessions dedicated to the most representative regions and appellations, leading up to the grand finale: the VinoVip Grand Tasting, a journey through the finest Italian wines, featuring over one hundred wines for tasting and the opportunity to meet the producers in person.

An unmissable event for anyone who wants to experience wine not only as a sensory pleasure, but as a story of regions, people, and culture. A journey into the heart of Italian winemaking, where every glass becomes an opportunity for discovery and exchange.
