Wine thus becomes the common thread for understanding an important part of Valtellina’s cultural heritage\, between places not normally accessible and the expressions of viticulture characterized by terraces\, craftsmanship\, and a strong territorial identity. \nThe 2026 edition introduces a significant new feature: the wineries will also be open on Friday evenings\, from 6 to 10 pm\, in addition to Saturdays and Sundays. The event takes place on the weekends of September 25–27\, October 2–4 and October 9–11\, with tastings on Fridays from 6pm to 10pm\, on Saturdays from 12pm to 10pm and on Sundays from 11am to 6pm. \nThe tasting routes\nVisitors can choose from several tasting tours\, built around different interpretations of Valtellina’s winemaking heritage. \nAmong the 2026 offerings are Rossi e Bio\, which compares Valtellina Superiore and Riserve with organic produce; Sforzati e Bolle\, dedicated to the dialogue between the structure and intensity of Sforzati and the freshness of bubbles; and Rossi\, Bianchi & amp; Rosé\, which offers a journey through different expressions of local production. \nAdded to these are Voices of the Vineyard – from the Producer to the Chalice\, housed in the Cloister of Sant’Antonio\, where ten small producers can directly talk about their wines\, their work in the vineyard and their relationship with the area. It is a particularly interesting formula because it introduces\, alongside the guided route\, a more direct relationship between winemaker and visitor. \nDiscovering Valtellina’s heroic viticulture\nThe tasting thus also becomes an opportunity to learn about Valtellina’s heroic viticulture\, that of terraced vineyards and dry stone walls\, and to encounter some of the wines that most represent its identity\, from Sforzato to Valtellina Superiore. \nMorbegno in Cantina allows us to approach this heritage not only through the chalice\, but also through the landscape and the stories of those who continue to cultivate the vine in an area where viticulture still requires significant manual labor today. \nNot just wine: experiences in the area\nWine is\, however\, only one element of the experience. Morbegno in Cantina offers a program of activities dedicated to discovering the area\, with guided tours of Palazzo Malacrida\, trekking and e-biking through vineyards and the landscape\, experiences dedicated to oil\, viticulture activities\, and activities for families and young people. \nAmong the new features for 2026 is a greater focus on the possibility of experiencing the event differently from the traditional tasting itinerary. The Non-Alcoholic Pass offers a parallel itinerary with juices\, infusions\, fermented foods\, and other non-alcoholic beverages related to the area\, while the Wine Jobs Experience addresses the topic of wine professions and training opportunities for young people. \nValtellina wine and gastronomy\nFinally\, there’s no shortage of connection to Valtellina’s gastronomy: wines are accompanied by traditional local products and preparations\, on a journey that brings together wine\, food\, history\, and territory. \nThe event thus becomes an opportunity to learn about Valtellina through some of its most characteristic expressions\, from wine to cuisine\, to the landscape and historical heritage of Morbegno. \nA new phase for the demonstration\nThe 2026 edition also marks the beginning of a new phase for Morbegno in Cantina\, entrusted for the next five years to SGP Grandi Eventi\, in partnership with PLM Servizi\, with the involvement of local associations and organizations. \nA formula that aims to strengthen the experiential dimension of the event while keeping the relationship with Morbegno and its community at the center. \n\nDates: September 25–27\, October 2–4\, and October 9–11\, 2026\nOpening hours: Friday from 6pm to 10pm\, Saturday from 12pm to 10pm and Sunday from 11am to 6pm.\nLocation: Morbegno (SO)\, historic center URL:https://www.doctorwine.wine/event/morbegno-in-cantina-2026-3/?lang=en LOCATION:Centro Storico di Morbegno\, (Sondrio)\, Italy CATEGORIES:Events Lombardy,Tasting ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.doctorwine.wine/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Morbegno-in-Cantina.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20260926T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20260927T200000 DTSTAMP:20260805T124334Z CREATED:20260805T124334Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260805T124334Z UID:61344-1790416800-1790539200@www.doctorwine.wine SUMMARY:Venice - The Great Wine Festival 2026 DESCRIPTION:The Great Wine Festival – Great Wines of Italy and the World: On September 26 and 27\, at Villa Farsetti\, over 400 wines from five continents will be featured.

For its third edition\, it expands its scope from the city of Marsala to western Sicily. Wineries\, salt pans\, restaurants\, accommodations\, cities and landscapes thus become part of a journey that combines training\, tasting\, discovery of the territory and relationships. \nInsolito Marsala was founded with the goal of creating opportunities for businesses\, professionals\, students\, institutions\, creators\, and the public to come together\, bringing local expertise into dialogue with national and international perspectives. It is neither a trade show nor a traditional wine festival\, but rather a widespread experience that uses wine and hospitality as a starting point to tell the story of a region in a contemporary way. \nThe 2026 edition therefore marks a significant evolution of the project: Marsala remains the starting point\, but the event sets out on a journey\, passing through new destinations in western Sicily and offering a different way to explore and experience the region through wine\, cuisine\, hospitality\, and innovation \nProgram\nThe project revolves around three areas: Wine\, Ho.Re.Ca.\, and Hospitality 3.0. \n\nThe wine-focused component includes tastings\, winery tours\, themed itineraries\, and opportunities to meet producers and explore the regions of western Sicily. Wine thus becomes a means of discovering stories\, people\, products\, and new forms of wine tourism.\nThe Ho.Re.Ca. sector\, on the other hand\, involves restaurants\, bars\, cafes\, wineries\, hotels\, and other hospitality businesses through training\, meetings\, masterclasses\, and opportunities for discussion tailored to those who work daily with the public and in customer service. The program covers everything from wine to coffee\, from dining room service to communication and new tools for the hospitality industry.\nWith “Hospitality 3.0\,” Insolito Marsala focuses instead on the evolution of tourism and hospitality\, addressing topics such as artificial intelligence\, digital content\, immersive experiences\, hospitality tech\, and destination storytelling through talks\, case studies\, and meetings with Italian and international guests.\n\nThe day is structured to alternate between different activities: the morning is dedicated to professional discussions and training\, the afternoon to experiences centered on wine\, food\, and the landscape\, while the evening takes on a more convivial atmosphere\, featuring dinners\, DJ sets\, music\, mixology\, and opportunities to socialize. \nAmong the training programs offered is the Insolito Academy\, which focuses on professional development in the areas of wine\, hospitality\, food and wine tourism\, communication\, artificial intelligence\, storytelling\, and new experiential models. \nThe schedule is being updated on the official website \nInformation Summary\n\nDates: September 30 – October 4\, 2026\nLocations: Marsala and other locations in western Sicily\nOfficial Website: https://insolitomarsala.com/ URL:https://www.doctorwine.wine/event/marsala-insolito-marsala-2026/?lang=en LOCATION:Marsala\, Italy CATEGORIES:Sicily Events,Tasting ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.doctorwine.wine/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Doctor-Wine-Calendario-7.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20261001 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20261002 DTSTAMP:20260905T091334Z CREATED:20260905T091334Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260905T091334Z UID:62301-1790812800-1790899199@www.doctorwine.wine SUMMARY:Milan - Chardonnay According to the Lunelli Family DESCRIPTION:Chardonnay According to the Lunelli Family:\nFISAR Milano Duomo Masterclass with Cantine Ferrari di Trento\nThe FISAR Milano Duomo Delegation is proud to present an extraordinary event featuring one of Italy’s most prestigious and iconic sparkling wine producers: Cantine Ferrari of Trento\, a global ambassador for Trentodoc excellence and the ultimate symbol of Italian sparkling wine. \nA truly rare opportunity to explore Chardonnay—the grape variety that is the very soul of Ferrari—as told through the voice and vision of those who live and breathe it every day. \nAccompanying you on this sensory journey will be Marcello Lunelli\, who represents the fourth generation at the helm of Cantine Ferrari and today embodies the company’s vision\, winemaking philosophy\, and commitment to quality and sustainability.

Wine thus becomes the common thread for understanding an important part of Valtellina’s cultural heritage\, between places not normally accessible and the expressions of viticulture characterized by terraces\, craftsmanship\, and a strong territorial identity. \nThe 2026 edition introduces a significant new feature: the wineries will also be open on Friday evenings\, from 6 to 10 pm\, in addition to Saturdays and Sundays. The event takes place on the weekends of September 25–27\, October 2–4 and October 9–11\, with tastings on Fridays from 6pm to 10pm\, on Saturdays from 12pm to 10pm and on Sundays from 11am to 6pm. \nThe tasting routes\nVisitors can choose from several tasting tours\, built around different interpretations of Valtellina’s winemaking heritage. \nAmong the 2026 offerings are Rossi e Bio\, which compares Valtellina Superiore and Riserve with organic produce; Sforzati e Bolle\, dedicated to the dialogue between the structure and intensity of Sforzati and the freshness of bubbles; and Rossi\, Bianchi & amp; Rosé\, which offers a journey through different expressions of local production. \nAdded to these are Voices of the Vineyard – from the Producer to the Chalice\, housed in the Cloister of Sant’Antonio\, where ten small producers can directly talk about their wines\, their work in the vineyard and their relationship with the area. It is a particularly interesting formula because it introduces\, alongside the guided route\, a more direct relationship between winemaker and visitor. \nDiscovering Valtellina’s heroic viticulture\nThe tasting thus also becomes an opportunity to learn about Valtellina’s heroic viticulture\, that of terraced vineyards and dry stone walls\, and to encounter some of the wines that most represent its identity\, from Sforzato to Valtellina Superiore. \nMorbegno in Cantina allows us to approach this heritage not only through the chalice\, but also through the landscape and the stories of those who continue to cultivate the vine in an area where viticulture still requires significant manual labor today. \nNot just wine: experiences in the area\nWine is\, however\, only one element of the experience. Morbegno in Cantina offers a program of activities dedicated to discovering the area\, with guided tours of Palazzo Malacrida\, trekking and e-biking through vineyards and the landscape\, experiences dedicated to oil\, viticulture activities\, and activities for families and young people. \nAmong the new features for 2026 is a greater focus on the possibility of experiencing the event differently from the traditional tasting itinerary. The Non-Alcoholic Pass offers a parallel itinerary with juices\, infusions\, fermented foods\, and other non-alcoholic beverages related to the area\, while the Wine Jobs Experience addresses the topic of wine professions and training opportunities for young people. \nValtellina wine and gastronomy\nFinally\, there’s no shortage of connection to Valtellina’s gastronomy: wines are accompanied by traditional local products and preparations\, on a journey that brings together wine\, food\, history\, and territory. \nThe event thus becomes an opportunity to learn about Valtellina through some of its most characteristic expressions\, from wine to cuisine\, to the landscape and historical heritage of Morbegno. \nA new phase for the demonstration\nThe 2026 edition also marks the beginning of a new phase for Morbegno in Cantina\, entrusted for the next five years to SGP Grandi Eventi\, in partnership with PLM Servizi\, with the involvement of local associations and organizations. \nA formula that aims to strengthen the experiential dimension of the event while keeping the relationship with Morbegno and its community at the center. \n\nDates: September 25–27\, October 2–4\, and October 9–11\, 2026\nOpening hours: Friday from 6pm to 10pm\, Saturday from 12pm to 10pm and Sunday from 11am to 6pm.\nLocation: Morbegno (SO)\, historic center URL:https://www.doctorwine.wine/event/morbegno-in-cantina-2026-2/?lang=en LOCATION:Centro Storico di Morbegno\, (Sondrio)\, Italy CATEGORIES:Events Lombardy,Tasting ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.doctorwine.wine/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Morbegno-in-Cantina.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20261002 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20261005 DTSTAMP:20260905T100138Z CREATED:20260905T100138Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260905T100138Z UID:62302-1790899200-1791158399@www.doctorwine.wine SUMMARY:Vicenza – ViWine Festival 2026 DESCRIPTION:ViWine Festival 2026: From October 2 to 4\, wine returns to the heart of Vicenza with three days of tastings\, events\, experiences\, and culinary delights\nWine Meets the City\nFrom October 2 to 4\, 2026\, the ViWine Festival returns to Vicenza for its seventh edition. The event takes place primarily in Piazza dei Signori\, in the city’s historic center\, with a program that combines wine tastings with meetings with producers\, cultural events\, culinary offerings\, and entertainment. \nFor the 2026 edition\, the festival announces the participation of over 40 wineries and more than 200 wine labels\, with a selection that includes wines from various regions. Admission to the square is free\, but to participate in the tasting tour\, you must purchase the corresponding package\, which includes a wine glass and tokens for the tastings. \nWine Tastings and Meet-and-Greets with Producers\nThe heart of ViWine remains the tour of the wineries\, designed to allow the public to learn about wines\, regions\, and labels through direct interaction with the producers. \nThe 2026 format therefore maintains the distinction between free admission to the event and the paid tasting route. The wine is accompanied by a selection of food items that can be purchased directly from the food exhibitors. \nIn addition to the wine tasting in the square\, this year the festival is expanding its offerings with new experiences that connect wine with culture\, art\, movement\, and an appreciation of the city. \nThe New “Experiences”\nAmong the events already announced are two masterclasses dedicated to wines from the Vicenza region: the first\, focused on Vespaiola di Breganze\, is scheduled for Saturday\, October 3; the second\, dedicated to Garganega and Durella and their relationship with volcanic soils\, is scheduled for Sunday\, October 4. \nThe program also includes “Ceramichine\,” an experience that combines ceramic painting with wine tasting\, and “Wine Pilates\,” an activity that alternates Pilates exercises with wine tasting sessions. \nParticularly interesting for its exploration of the relationship between wine and the city’s heritage is the cultural tour “Vicenza in a Glass\, ” organized in collaboration with the La Vigna International Library and the Vicenzaè Consortium: a guided tour that begins at the La Vigna Library and continues through the historic center\, highlighting the history of wine and the cellars from Palladio’s time\, and concludes in Piazza dei Signori with a wine tasting. \nFuori Festival\nOne of the new features of the 2026 edition is the Fuori Festival\, held at Corte dei Bissari\, where the program features not only wines but also spirits and music. \nThe festival thus maintains a concept that goes beyond a simple wine event\, seeking to connect wine with life in the historic center and with various forms of experience and entertainment. \nProgram\nThe general schedule previously announced is as follows: \n\nFriday\, October 2: Piazza dei Signori 7:00 PM–12:00 AM; Fuori Festival at Corte dei Bissari 7:00 PM–1:00 AM.\nSaturday\, October 3: Piazza dei Signori 3:00 PM–12:00 AM; Off-Festival at Corte dei Bissari 3:00 PM–1:00 AM.\nSunday\, October 4: Piazza dei Signori and Corte dei Bissari 11:30 a.m.–8:30 p.m.\n\nThe detailed program is being updated gradually by the organizers; some events are already listed\, and others will be announced at a later date. \nInformation Summary\n\nDates: October 2–4\, 2026\nLocation: Piazza dei Signori and Corte dei Bissari\, Vicenza\nAdmission: free; a special package is required for tastings\nOfficial website: https://viwinefestival.it URL:https://www.doctorwine.wine/event/vicenza-viwine-festival-2026/?lang=en LOCATION:Piazza dei Signori\, Vicenza\, Italy CATEGORIES:Tasting,Veneto Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.doctorwine.wine/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/ViWine-Festival.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20261003 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20261004 DTSTAMP:20260911T131651Z CREATED:20260820T090356Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260911T131651Z UID:61776-1790985600-1791071999@www.doctorwine.wine SUMMARY:Presentation of the Essential Guide to Italian Wines 2027\, Milan DESCRIPTION:DoctorWine is presenting the 13th edition of the Essential Guide to Italian Wines\, the 2027 edition\, in Milan.\nEvent Saturday\, October 3\, 2026 at theHotel Principe di Savoia in Milan.\nDue to popular demand from the public and the producers themselves\, we’re condensing the major tasting event for the launch of the Essential Guide to Italian Wines 2027 into a single day .

This larger space will be able to accommodate the thousands of visitors expected and offer an even more comprehensive and functional experience. \nFor two days\, the City of the Two Towers will thus serve as the Italian headquarters for France’s most famous sparkling wines and will offer a unique opportunity to observe up close the evolution of the appellation and gain insight into the changes affecting production\, the market\, and consumption. At a pivotal moment for Champagne—with the CIVC having revised yield limits for the upcoming harvest to align supply with current demand—this event\, organized by Excellence SIDI\, aims to foster networking opportunities and provide concrete ideas for promoting this iconic wine as part of the offerings for industry professionals. \nAt the tasting\, visitors will be able to sample wines from the 125 participating houses\, with tasting stations organized\, as usual\, by geographic region.

Wine thus becomes the common thread for understanding an important part of Valtellina’s cultural heritage\, between places not normally accessible and the expressions of viticulture characterized by terraces\, craftsmanship\, and a strong territorial identity. \nThe 2026 edition introduces a significant new feature: the wineries will also be open on Friday evenings\, from 6 to 10 pm\, in addition to Saturdays and Sundays. The event takes place on the weekends of September 25–27\, October 2–4 and October 9–11\, with tastings on Fridays from 6pm to 10pm\, on Saturdays from 12pm to 10pm and on Sundays from 11am to 6pm. \nThe tasting routes\nVisitors can choose from several tasting tours\, built around different interpretations of Valtellina’s winemaking heritage. \nAmong the 2026 offerings are Rossi e Bio\, which compares Valtellina Superiore and Riserve with organic produce; Sforzati e Bolle\, dedicated to the dialogue between the structure and intensity of Sforzati and the freshness of bubbles; and Rossi\, Bianchi & amp; Rosé\, which offers a journey through different expressions of local production. \nAdded to these are Voices of the Vineyard – from the Producer to the Chalice\, housed in the Cloister of Sant’Antonio\, where ten small producers can directly talk about their wines\, their work in the vineyard and their relationship with the area. It is a particularly interesting formula because it introduces\, alongside the guided route\, a more direct relationship between winemaker and visitor. \nDiscovering Valtellina’s heroic viticulture\nThe tasting thus also becomes an opportunity to learn about Valtellina’s heroic viticulture\, that of terraced vineyards and dry stone walls\, and to encounter some of the wines that most represent its identity\, from Sforzato to Valtellina Superiore. \nMorbegno in Cantina allows us to approach this heritage not only through the chalice\, but also through the landscape and the stories of those who continue to cultivate the vine in an area where viticulture still requires significant manual labor today. \nNot just wine: experiences in the area\nWine is\, however\, only one element of the experience. Morbegno in Cantina offers a program of activities dedicated to discovering the area\, with guided tours of Palazzo Malacrida\, trekking and e-biking through vineyards and the landscape\, experiences dedicated to oil\, viticulture activities\, and activities for families and young people. \nAmong the new features for 2026 is a greater focus on the possibility of experiencing the event differently from the traditional tasting itinerary. The Non-Alcoholic Pass offers a parallel itinerary with juices\, infusions\, fermented foods\, and other non-alcoholic beverages related to the area\, while the Wine Jobs Experience addresses the topic of wine professions and training opportunities for young people. \nValtellina wine and gastronomy\nFinally\, there’s no shortage of connection to Valtellina’s gastronomy: wines are accompanied by traditional local products and preparations\, on a journey that brings together wine\, food\, history\, and territory. \nThe event thus becomes an opportunity to learn about Valtellina through some of its most characteristic expressions\, from wine to cuisine\, to the landscape and historical heritage of Morbegno. \nA new phase for the demonstration\nThe 2026 edition also marks the beginning of a new phase for Morbegno in Cantina\, entrusted for the next five years to SGP Grandi Eventi\, in partnership with PLM Servizi\, with the involvement of local associations and organizations. \nA formula that aims to strengthen the experiential dimension of the event while keeping the relationship with Morbegno and its community at the center. \n\nDates: September 25–27\, October 2–4\, and October 9–11\, 2026\nOpening hours: Friday from 6pm to 10pm\, Saturday from 12pm to 10pm and Sunday from 11am to 6pm.\nLocation: Morbegno (SO)\, historic center URL:https://www.doctorwine.wine/event/morbegno-in-cantina-2026/?lang=en LOCATION:Centro Storico di Morbegno\, (Sondrio)\, Italy CATEGORIES:Events Lombardy,Tasting ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.doctorwine.wine/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Morbegno-in-Cantina.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20261010 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20261011 DTSTAMP:20260819T165059Z CREATED:20260819T165059Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260819T165059Z UID:61751-1791590400-1791676799@www.doctorwine.wine SUMMARY:Presentation of the Essential Guide to Italian Wines 2027\, Rome DESCRIPTION:DoctorWine presents the 13th edition of the Essential Guide to Italian Wines 2027 in Rome!\nThe 13th edition of our Essential Guide is coming soon. \nEvent for the presentation of the Essential Guide to Italian Wines 2027\, Saturday\, October 10 at Spazio Novecento\, Piazza Guglielmo Marconi 26B in Rome. \nA day of celebration and tasting to discover the wines selected and awarded by DoctorWine and talk directly with the producers. \nIn fact\, during the day there will be a large tasting counter where you will be able to freely taste and discover all the great wines present. \nBuy your ticket by following the link to the shop \nThe ticket includes access to the event and unlimited tastings\, as well as a DoctorWine-branded wine glass. \nTo get the DoctorWine Essential Guide\, simply download the app (or update the one you already have)\, and the 2027 edition will appear automatically.

Having begun before mid-August\, it was the earliest on record for the region since 2003: the harvest began with the earliest-ripening varieties\, Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon\, followed by Friulano\, Malvasia Istriana\, and Ribolla Gialla\, and is now wrapping up with the red grapes. \nThe lack of rain for most of the summer and the heat waves—which occurred mainly just before harvest—affected yields in some areas and for certain varieties\, also impacting the analytical parameters of the grapes; in some cases\, this resulted in higher sugar concentrations and lower acidity. The rains\, though late\, have nevertheless improved the overall picture: the quality of the musts today bodes well for wines of excellent quality. \n“We haven’t started harvesting this early since 2003\,” says President Luca Raccaro\, “and that alone says a lot about how the climate is changing the way we work in the vineyard. A rainless summer and heat waves just before the harvest affected yields and\, in some cases\, the balance between sugar and acidity; the rains\, though late\, ultimately restored the overall picture. Today we look at the musts in the cellar with confidence: the conditions are right for wines of excellent quality.” \nCollio Evolution 2026\nÈ Collio Evolution the cornerstone around which much of the Consortium’s work revolves: From October 24 to 26\, the event returns for its second edition in Cormons\, in the City Hall at 22 Piazza XXIV Maggio\, the same venue as last year. Established in 2025\, it is the appellation’s flagship event: the place where the region showcases itself and engages in dialogue with the press and industry professionals. The title chosen for 2026\, “Beyond the Grape Variety. From the Vineyard to the Glass: The Essence of Pinot Grigio’s Identity”\, also indicates the grape variety to which this edition is dedicated: Pinot Grigio\, seen as a gateway to the region’s soils\, microclimates\, and winemaking practices. \nOver the course of the three-day event\, the Consortium expects more than 50 Italian and international journalists. The event will be preceded by a press tour reserved for foreign journalists invited by Collio Evolution\, who will arrive from the United States\, Brazil\, Poland\, Austria\, the UK\, Canada\, and the Netherlands to experience the region before the event. \n“We’re delighted about this press tour because it gives foreign journalists the chance to really get to know our region even before the event begins\,” says Lavinia Zamaro\, Director of the Collio Consortium. \nProgram\nThe program kicks off on Saturday with a masterclass dedicated to Collio Pinot Grigio. \nNext up is the conference featuring the presentation of the second part of the Nomisma study\, this time focused on the Horeca sector. \nA second masterclass is scheduled for Sunday morning\, followed by a walk-around tasting with the producers. A technical tasting dedicated to various interpretations and vintages of Pinot Grigio is also reserved for the press. \n“Collio Evolution is the moment when the appellation takes stock of itself: from technical tastings to an analysis of research data\, all the way to direct dialogue with producers. These various tools all serve a single purpose: to provide our winemakers and guests with a clear snapshot of the current state of the Collio region\,” Raccaro emphasizes. \nFull details are available on the official website of the Collio Wine Protection Consortium \nTickets Available Online URL:https://www.doctorwine.wine/event/cormons-collio-evolution-2026/?lang=en LOCATION:Sale del Comune di Cormons\, Piazza XXIV Maggio 22\, Cormons\, Italy CATEGORIES:Events Friuli Venezia Giulia,Tasting ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.doctorwine.wine/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Collio-Evolution.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20261024T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20261025T190000 DTSTAMP:20260911T085758Z CREATED:20260911T085758Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260911T085758Z UID:62530-1792839600-1792954800@www.doctorwine.wine SUMMARY:Villa Cavazza di Bomporto - Terre di Vite 2026 DESCRIPTION:Terre di Vite 2026: the artisanal winemakers’ event\, dedicated to Artisanal Intelligence\, returns to Villa Cavazza on October 24th and 25th\nTerre di Vite returns on October 24 and 25\, 2026\, to Villa Cavazza di Bomporto\, in the province of Modena\, for its fifteenth edition.
