SUMMARY:Fortress of Bard - Vins Extrêmes 2025
DESCRIPTION:Vins Extrêmes 2025 – International exhibition of wines from heroic viticulture goes on stage at the Fortress of Bard\, Aosta Valley\nOn the weekend of Saturday\, Nov. 22 and Sunday\, Nov. 23\, 2025\, the Fortress of Bard in the Aosta Valley will be the setting for the fourth edition of Vins Extrêmes\, the international event dedicated to heroic viticulture-that is\, those vineyards exposed to extreme conditions of slope\, altitude\, soil or microclimate that give the wine a unique character. \nVins Extrêmes offers a rich program: tasting counters with selections of “heroic” wines from difficult and marginal territories\, technical masterclasses\, round tables on the theme of extreme viticulture\, and moments dedicated tomeetings between producers and professionals. \nAlso scheduled as part of the event is the Mondial des Vins Extrêmes ceremony\, a competition dedicated exclusively to these mountain or steep-slope wines\, with awards and special tastings. \nThe Fortress of Bard\, a scenic historic fortress\, adds a charming atmosphere to the event: walking through the halls and towers of the fortress will be as much a part of the experience as tasting a unique wine. Fortress of Bard \nVins Extrêmes is thus not just a wine fair: it is a voyage of discovery of territories that seem impossible to cultivate\, daring vineyards and wines that bring to the bottle the strength of the landscape and the passion of the producer. It is an ideal event for both wine professionals and curious wine-lovers: we will give voice to rare grape varieties\, lesser-known styles\, terroirs at high altitudes or on difficult soils. Participating means tasting wines born in extreme conditions-snow\, slope\, rock-and understanding what makes heroic viticulture so special.   \nIn addition\, the event is an international window: in addition to Italy\, there will be producers from mountains\, islands and difficult areas of the world\, making the experience truly global. \nDoors will be open on Saturday\, Nov. 22 and Sunday\, Nov. 23 from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. \nFor more information on exhibitors\, detailed program and tickets: www.vins-extremes.it

SUMMARY:Vinacria - Ortigia Wine Fest
DESCRIPTION:Vinacria\, 2nd Edition: On Nov. 23 and 24\, 2025 at the Old Market in Ortigia\, wine returns Pop\nAfter the great success of its debut in 2024\, Vinacria – Ortigia Wine Fest\, the event dedicated to the wines\, oils and culinary excellence of Sicily\, returns to Syracuse. A cenacle dedicated to Sicilian wine with one day dedicated to trade professionals and one to the general public  \nThe appointment is for Nov. 23 and 24\, 2025 at the Antico Mercato di Ortigia\, in the heart of the historic center of Syracuse\, where producers\, experts\, enthusiasts\, and taste travelers will meet to celebrate an authentic tale of Sicilian wine. \nThe exhibition will be spread over two days:\n\nSunday\, November 23\, dedicated to the general public with tasting booths and informative talks\nMonday\, Nov. 24\, reserved for industry professionals\, buyers and the press to foster opportunities for exchange and new professional collaborations.\n\nConceived and organized by Giada Capriotti\, president of Vinacria Association\, in collaboration with Kiube Studios\, the fair was born as a cultural project capable of combining storytelling\, experience and education. After a first year that recorded an extraordinary adhesion of public and institutions with more than 2\,500 attendees\, Vinacria is preparing for a new edition with more than 80 producers (including wine\, oil\, spirits and national and international distributions) confirming itself among the most anticipated food and wine events in the Italian wine world.  \nThis year the theme chosen is POP – Popular\, accessible\, inclusive\, authentic – with the aim of bringing wine back to its original dimension: that of a universal language\, capable of uniting people and cultures\, in perfect line with the trends that are depopulating\, even among a younger audience. Vinacria chooses to overcome the barrier of the elite to give wine back its popular voice\, making it the protagonist of a simple\, direct and engaging narrative. Wine as a collective heritage\, as a tool for dialogue and identity.   \nAs Giada Capriotti\, president of the Vinacria Association\, explains\, this second edition grows in participation and content\, with new areas dedicated to oils\, spirits and realities of national distribution. Vinacria confirms itself not only as a wine festival\, but as a network and territorial enhancement project\, involving producers\, restaurateurs and schools\, promoting authentic communication and conscious drinking. At the same time\, it champions social values such as inclusion\, legality and respect.   \nData from the 2025 edition\nThe 2025 edition will welcome over eighty wine\, oil and spirits producers from all over Sicily\, joined by some “overseas” presences that will enrich the comparison of territories and traditions. \nThese are joined by 6 masterclasses-five dedicated to wine and one to extra virgin olive oil-designed to offer moments of in-depth study led by oenologists\, sommeliers and communicators of national and international prominence. \nIn addition to its enological soul\, Vinacria presents itself as a true laboratory of culture and inclusion. It will involve students\, restaurateurs and local operators\, transforming Ortigia into a widespread festival of taste. The festival will also address social issues such as inclusion and the fight against violence\, confirming itself as a community project that unites people and territory. Included in the calendar of the European Region of Gastronomy 2025\, Vinacria is now a bridge between tradition and the future.    \nSo two days of authentic emotions\, flavors and stories await you\, where the goblet becomes a symbol of a living\, shared and ever-evolving identity. \nFor information\, tickets and accreditation: www.vinacriawinefest.it
