SUMMARY:SUBER - Suvereto Wine Festival
DESCRIPTION:SUBER – Suvereto Wine Festival: May 1-3 Suvereto\, a medieval village in the Val di Cornia\, hosts the 3rd edition of the festival.\nSUBER – Suvereto Wine Festival: Three days of widespread celebration among wineries\, producers and artisans. Suvereto winemakers bet on new types of wine and the identity of a territory to be discovered.  \nThe third edition of SUBER – Suvereto Wine Festival\, May 1-3\, 2026\, chronicles a metamorphosis. The revision of the disciplinary with the new Suvereto DOCG marks a key step in the construction of more identity wines.  \nAt SUBER we taste\, walk\, listen and think\, together\, about the future of the territory\, as Daniele Petricci\, president of the Suvereto and Val di Cornia Wine Consortium\, explains. “SUBER was born as a time and place where wine returns to be a common language for those who\, in the glass\, seek not only quality but also stories\, relationships and belonging. The Festival is the result of the vision and commitment of an entire community that has decided to look in the same direction\, recognizing itself as a single\, pulsating ecosystem. From stores to artisans\, from restaurateurs to young winemakers\, everyone is doing their part with a proactive and inclusive spirit. We certainly welcome visitors with a glass of our wines\, but also with a choral tale of our territory.”  \nAn evolution that not only concerns production\, but also redefines the positioning of this area of the Upper Maremma that focuses on wine tourism and the value it can generate. It is on this terrain that the new generations – winemakers\, restaurateurs\, artisans and local administrators – are called to confront. Outlining a shared path capable of holding together identity\, sustainability and competitiveness in a global context.   \nThe masterclass “Suvereto Docg\, a new history” is dedicated to this change. 12 guided and comparative tastings to understand how the new production rules are already drawing the profile of tomorrow’s wines of this young appellation. (Saturday\, May 2 and Sunday\, May 3 at 3 p.m.). \nThe program\nOfficially opening the Festival on Friday\, May 1 from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. is the SUBER Aperitivo with live music. Sunset with a view of the Val di Cornia with local glasses\, finger food and notes in the gardens of the Suvereto and Val di Cornia Wine Consortium\, which organizes the entire Festival under the patronage of the Municipality of Suvereto.  \nOn Saturday\, May 2 and Sunday\, May 3\, SUBER gets into full swing. Its energy spreads along the streets of Suvereto in a widespread festival involving the entire village with stores\, stores\, wine bars and restaurants open until late in the evening. The cobblestone alleys\, palaces and small squares of the medieval urbe host tastings\, workshops\, sports and recreational activities\, talks\, show cooking and performances. Goblet in hand\, visitors are invited to stroll through the streets of Suvereto\, its scents and flavors. To try their hand at the different activities offered to celebrate\, together with the local community\, the Val di Cornia\, where wine\, food\, history\, landscape and innovation permeate economy and society.     \nSUBER offers a widespread program that spans the territory. From outdoor activities among the rows – walks\, guided hikes and e-bikes and a wine tourism proposal involving all the wineries – to tasting spaces in the village\, with “Goblets with a View” (at the Consortium headquarters) and the AperiChiostro and Music in Vinyl (Saturday afternoon in the cloisters of San Francesco)\, where Val di Cornia producers tell their stories in person. On Sunday\, winemakers spread out along the village streets with “Chiostro in tour\,” where each winery is joined by a local artisan\, creating a concrete dialogue between wine and territory. Sunday afternoon is all about food. One can taste recipes based on local products cooked live by guest chefs during the show cooking/talk “Mangio quindi sono: la cucina come patrimonio immateriale degli italiani\,” to take home the taste of Suvereto.    \nAlongside tastings\, SUBER builds moments of discussion and insight. Talks bring different generations and visions of wine into dialogue\, while guided tastings highlight local appellations and oil. The program is completed with family activities\, workshops and games. A context that\, among vineyards\, sea and Etruscan sites\, makes the festival a privileged access point to the Val di Cornia.   \nFor information and full program: suberfestival.co.uk \nFrom SUBER to the sea\, via the Etruscans\nSUBER’s three-day event coincides with the May 1 bridge. It is an opportunity for a trip to a lesser-known area of the Maremma-the Val di Cornia of which Suvereto is the wine capital. To immerse oneself in a microcosm where time seems to have stood still\, while remaining extraordinarily vital. Where the legacy of the Etruscans and the wisdom of the iron masters live again today in the resourcefulness of young Suveretani.   \nMoreover\, the Festival lives in an area where everything is close by. Around Suvereto\, the Val di Cornia alternates between vineyards\, Mediterranean scrub and the sea. In just a few kilometers\, one goes from the vineyards to the coves of the Gulf of Baratti\, from the thermal baths of Sassetta or Calidario to the archaeological area of Populonia overlooking the Etruscan Coast\, the “Caribbean of the Tyrrhenian Sea.”  \nFor more information and full program: suberfestival.co.uk

SUMMARY:San Marco Argentano - Abbey Wines Calabria
DESCRIPTION:Vini d’Abbazia lands in Calabria: May 2 and 3 at Abbazia della Matina.  Two days of tastings\, meetings and wine culture with the historic productions of Italian abbeys and the excellence of the Consorzi di Tutela of Calabria.  \n\nAbbey Wines arrives for the first time in Calabria and chooses the Cistercian Abbey of Santa Maria della Matina in San Marco Argentano (CS) to present\, on Saturday\, May 2 and Sunday\, May 3\, a preview of the national edition that will take place in June in the Borgo di Fossanova\, Priverno (LT). \nAbbey Wines Calabria\nCreated in the wake of the success of the national edition held in Lazio\, the Calabrian leg of Vini d’Abbazia aims to enhance the link between monastic culture and viticulture\, bringing historical production experiences and contemporary territorial identities into dialogue. \nFor two days\, La Matina Abbey will become a meeting place for wine enthusiasts\, wine professionals and producers\, through a tasting itinerary that interweaves spirituality\, history and wine. The protagonists will be labels from Italian abbeys\, flanked by the productions of Calabrian protection consortia\, in a confrontation that crosses territories\, grape varieties and traditions.  \nThe program will consist of tasting counters and in-depth moments\, offering the public the opportunity to discover both the historical dimension of monastic viticulture and the contemporary evolution of Calabrian wine. Guided tastings – entrusted to wine professionals – will take participants on a sensory journey dedicated to native grape varieties and their most representative expressions.  \nVini d’Abbazia takes the form of a cultural project that restores centrality to the role of abbeys in the preservation of Europe’s wine-growing heritage\, reviving its value today through dialogue with territories. \nAn institutional strategy for the area’s wine renaissance\nThe first Calabrian edition of Vini d’Abbazia (Abbey Wines) is part of a context of strong dynamism for the regional wine sector\, the result of an institutional strategy that focuses firmly on the promotion of its agri-food excellence. \nThe initiative is supported by the Region of Calabria and ARSAC (Azienda Regionale per lo Sviluppo dell’Agricoltura Calabrese\, or Regional Agency for the Development of Calabrian Agriculture)\, as part of a broader plan to strengthen the territory’s role in the panorama of major international wine events. \nIn this direction are strategic choices that have brought landmark events such as Vinitaly and the City and Merano WineFestival to Calabria\, helping to consolidate the region’s image as a high-profile destination. \n“Vini d’Abbazia Calabria is part of a path that has already begun to enhance and promote the regional wine sector\,” says Calabria Region Agriculture Councillor Gianluca Gallo. “The intense activity put in place in recent years is yielding concrete results\, helping to strengthen Calabria’s positioning in the reference circuits of quality wine. In this context\, initiatives such as this one take on a strategic value: they not only promote our productions\, but also tell their deep roots\, interweaving identity\, history and contemporary capacity for innovation. It is through this balance that Calabria can consolidate its attractiveness and establish itself more and more as a major wine tourism destination  “. \nThe Cistercian Abbey of Santa Maria della Matina\nThe heart of the event will be the Matina Abbey\, a complex of great historical and architectural value nestled in the landscape of inland Calabria. Founded in 1065 by Robert Guiscard\, the abbey represents significant evidence of the monastic presence in the area and its function as a spiritual and agricultural center\, offering\, between the chapter house and millennia-old cloisters\, a solemn and timeless breath.  \n“Thanks to the support of the Region of Calabria\, we were able to host in the Abbey of Santa Maria della Matina the first edition in southern Italy of Vini d’Abbazia\,” says Michele Valentoni\, owner of the abbey and La Matina winery. “It is a source of pride for me to have made this place available\, helping to enhance a reality that is still little known but perfectly inserted in a national circuit of great importance.”\n“The initiative represents not only an important promotional opportunity\, but a real opportunity for meeting and shared appreciation\,” adds Judith Sandonato\, organizational soul and communications manager. “An authentic experience that connects culture\, history and wine production even geographically distant.” \nTickets available:\nTickets for Wines of Abbey Calabria are available online\, with the option to purchase admission for individual days:  https://vinidabbazia.com/eventi/

SUMMARY:Panzano - Vino al Vino in Cantina 2026
DESCRIPTION:Vino al Vino in Cantina 2026\, May 2 and 3 in Panzano in Chianti for a journey to discover the wine excellence of Chianti Classico   \nOn Saturday\, May 2 and Sunday\, May 3\, the appointment with “Vino al Vino in Cantina”\, promoted by theUnion of Winegrowers of Panzano in Chianti to celebrate the wine excellence of Chianti Classico.

SUMMARY:Rome - Pigneto Wine District 2026
DESCRIPTION:Quartiere Vino Pigneto 2026 returns in May\, the widespread event on natural wines that this year gets a makeover with new paths and new creative spaces\nSaturday\, May 9 kicks off the third edition of the event dedicated to natural wine\, which transforms the Pigneto neighborhood into a grand tasting itinerary with international winemakers\, cultural walks and the new creative space VinArt Est \nIt has now become an unmissable event for natural wine enthusiasts in Rome\, the widespread event dedicated to natural wine\, which for one day transforms the Roman neighborhood of Pigneto into a large open-air tasting trail. \nThe event\, now in its third edition\, involves dozens of venues and many winemakers from all over Italy and abroad\, creating an experience that combines wine\, meetings and discovery. The event is conceived and organized by SO2 Enoteca\, a wine shop and distributor of natural wines rooted in the territory\, and Solovino Enoteca\, a reality active in the organization of reference events in the sector such as Vini Selvaggi\, Convivium Renaissance\, Vin’Aia and other projects dedicated to natural wine.  \nQuartiere Vino Pigneto was created with the aim of enhancing wine as a cultural and territorial expression\, focusing on producers who work with respect for the land and people. Protagonists are authentic and artisanal wines\, far from industrial logics\, told directly by the winemakers who produce them.  \nWhat’s New 2026\nThe 2026 edition introduces new access modes and new spaces dedicated to creativity\, designed to make the experience even more fluid and engaging. In fact\, to facilitate participation\, two pass pick-up points have been planned\, where visitors can pick up their goblet and wristband before starting the route: Nuccitelli Square and SO2 Distribution.  \nAt Nuccitelli Square will be the artists\, illustrators and cartoonists of VinArt Est\, a new project that combines wine with a market dedicated to illustrators\, artists and creative people who will exhibit their works all day Saturday and Sunday starting at 12 p.m. Some of them will also be present in selected venues in the neighborhood\, enriching the tasting route with artistic interventions and works along the event circuit.  \nSunday at Nuccitelli Square will also feature the Ciriola food truck & bar with SO2’s natural wines and the participation of some surprise guest winemakers. \nTalks and debates will also be held during the day on Saturday\, also at Nuccitelli Square\, with a schedule to be published soon on the event’s official social channels. \nAnother novelty concerns the introduction of two new recommended routes\, marked on the map and designed to guide the public among the district’s venues from north to south. This is a way to experience the event more quietly\, avoiding crowds and allowing people to discover all the stops along the route.  \nQuartiere Vino Pigneto is not a traditional fair\, but a walking experience: you enter the neighborhood venues\, meet the winemakers\, taste the wines and listen to the stories that are born in the vineyards. \nNot just wine: neighborhood walks and workshops\nQuartiere Vino Pigneto is also a time to meet and discover the area: walks will be organized to discover the old taverns and stories of Pigneto. The walks will be led by historian Guido Farinelli of the Bella Storia association\, who will accompany participants through stories\, anecdotes and urban transformations of the neighborhood. Participation in the walk costs 5 euros per person\, and it will soon be possible to book guided tours online\, with the possibility of integrating the walk with the event’s tasting route.  \nThe neighborhood’s craft businesses also become an integral part of the event\, opening their spaces and welcoming the vintners. Stores\, workshops and stores thus become stages along the route\, allowing the public to come into contact with the work of artisans and the creative energy that characterizes Pigneto.  \nHow it works\nParticipating is simple: by purchasing a pass you receive a goblet and bracelet\, with which to begin the journey among the participating establishments in the neighborhood. The tastings take place directly at the counters set up in the bars\, wine bars and restaurants of Pigneto\, where the winemakers tell about their work\, the territory they come from and their production philosophy.\nOn Saturday\, May 9\, the cash desk for collecting the pass and the goblet will be open as early as 12 noon\, both at Enoteca SO2 and at the pick-up point in Piazza Nuccitelli\, where it will be possible to start the day with the artists of VinArt Est\, food trucks and natural wines. For one day\, the neighborhood thus becomes a large natural wine itinerary\, where the public can move freely among the different stops.   \nMain partnerMain partner of the 2026 edition is Necci dal 1924\, a symbolic place of Pigneto and cultural and gastronomic reference point of the neighborhood\, which will help make the heart of the event even more central and recognizable.\n\nInformation\nSaturday\, May 9 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. \nTickets available at: www.quartierevinopigneto.it \nThe event is organized under the auspices of the Fifth Municipality of Rome

SUMMARY:Rose Rosé 2026
DESCRIPTION:Rose Rosé returns to Rome: 4th Edition lights up the cityMay 11-17\, including wine\, fashion and art\nFrom May 11 to 17\, with highlight events on the 13th and 14th\, Via Borgognona is transformed into an experiential pathway with tastings\, boutiques and floral installations\, with Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo as the absolute protagonist and a program full of novelties designed to win over not only wine lovers but also contemporary lifestyle enthusiasts. \nFourth edition\, same soul and new vibes: Rose Rosé returns to Rome to celebrate the month of roses with an experience that conquers the palate and seduces the eye\, inviting everyone to be transported into a world where pink becomes emotion\, style and storytelling. In May\, when the city lights up with light and the gardens are tinged with the first blooms\, one of the most original events of the spring season comes to life\, capable of renewing itself over time without losing its identity.  \nThe event\, promoted by the Matrix Association and MKTG Advisor\, continues to successfully narrate an original and recognizable formula\, enriched by novelties that enliven the program and ignite the curiosity of an increasingly broad audience: not only wine enthusiasts\, but also lovers of fashion\, art and immersive experiences. \nFrom May 11 to 17\, with highlights on the 13th and 14th\, Rose Rosé is preparing to take the city by storm once again with a calendar full of events designed to offer an engaging journey between tastings\, shopping experiences\, art and lifestyle\, in a harmonious and contemporary balance. \nAt the center of this edition is once again the allure of rosé wine\, in its many nuances and declinations\, but also a broader idea of the event: an immersive journey that interweaves taste and beauty\, tradition and trends. \nThe exceptional setting will again be Via Borgognona\, the beating heart of Altagamma shopping in Rome\, with its French-influenced historic architecture and prestigious international boutiques. For the occasion\, the street will be transformed into a unique sensory itinerary\, dressing itself in pink and roses thanks to the set-up signed by Flover\, a Neapolitan company specializing in fashion and design. Their scenic wall planters will create a poetic and refined ambience\, enhancing the beauty of roses and recalling the delicate tones of rosé wines in the glass.   \nAbout 12 boutiques are involved along the street\, each of which will host individual wineries of the Consorzio Tutela Vini d’Abruzzo\, the initiative’s exclusive wine partner. The exceptional protagonist will be Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo – the first Italian appellation dedicated exclusively to rosé wines\, born in 2010\, which is now experiencing a golden moment – which will accompany guests on a tasting path among freshness\, fruity aromas and versatility.  \nThe experiences will be divided between widespread tastings in the boutiques on May 14 and an invitation-only wine tasting in the halls of the prestigious St. Regis Rome on May 13\, Throughout the itinerary\, qualified sommeliers will guide participants on a sensory journey filled with curiosities\, stories and pairings. \nOnce again this year\, there will be no shortage of space dedicated to art: contemporary artist Elisabetta (Betta) Serena di Lapigio will exhibit her works at the St. Regis Rome\, adding an additional layer of dialogue between aesthetics and perception\, at the Sala del Cinghiale in the Nino dal 1934 restaurant and in some of the participating boutiques. Adding to the vibrancy of the experience\, a collaboration continues with fashion illustrator Aldo Sacchetti\, who will create live portraits of guests through the sketch technique inside selected boutiques.  \nRose Rosé thus confirms itself to be much more than a wine event: it is a choral tale made of taste\, beauty and lifestyle\, capable of transforming the city into a diffuse stage where every detail contributes to creating an elegant\, engaging atmosphere that is always in step with the times. \nThe event is sponsored by the Lazio Region\, the Municipality of Rome and Confcommercio imprese per l’Italia\, with the media partnership of RCS Corriere della Sera and the support of partners such as Avis Drive\, Valverde\, Matrix\, Montenapoleone District and Flover. \nFull details of the initiative can be found on the official page

SUMMARY:Bolzano - Vinaltum 2026
DESCRIPTION:Vinaltum 2026: “Tasting excellence” at Mareccio Castle\, in the heart of Bolzano\, May 17 and 18\nVinaltum\, the Festival of Wine Excellence of Italy and the World\, dedicated to wine lovers and wine professionals\, is back. For this third edition\, the event takes a significant step and lands in Castel Mareccio\, in the heart of Bolzano\, bringing with it all its exclusive character in a setting even more evocative and representative of the South Tyrolean territory.  \nMareccio Castle\nNestled among vineyards on the outskirts of the city\, Castel Mareccio is a medieval castle from the 13th century. It stands on a hilltop promontory with panoramic views of the Adige Valley. Now a venue for high-profile events\, its historic architecture\, frescoed rooms and surrounding park provide a setting of rare elegance-a setting perfectly in line with the values of Vinaltum\, where excellence\, territory and beauty meet.  \n“Castel Mareccio represents a quantum leap in context for Vinaltum. We wanted to bring the event to the heart of Bolzano\,” comments Danilo D’Ambra\, creator of Vinaltum\, “in a place that spoke of territory\, history and excellence as much as the wines tasted there  \nThe Vinaltum project\nVinaltum was born from the synergy between Danilo D’Ambra and Luciano Rappo\, two leading figures in the Italian wine scene. D’Ambra\, FISAR president for Bolzano and Bassa Atesina\, is a great connoisseur of the sector and a passionate promoter of wine culture. Rappo\, a longtime wine consultant and point of reference for many wineries\, has dedicated his career to the promotion of Italian wine excellence. Together\, with the support of Pietro Cormaci\, Brand Ambassador of the event\, and Rinaldo Hauser Sommelier of experience and “Keeper of Taste\,” they have built a project that aims to be a bridge between producers\, buyers\, experts and industry enthusiasts\, promoting an authentic and educational tasting experience.    \n“Vinaltum was born out of the conviction that quality wine deserves a stage to match.” – says Luciano Rappo\, co-organizer of Vinaltum-“The selection of wineries participating in the event is never random: we look for producers who have something authentic to tell\, who express the territory through their wines. It is this rigor in the selection that makes Vinaltum a credible\, expected and different event from others.” \nVinaltum 2026\nThe careful selection of participating wineries and the direct presence of producers will offer visitors an unprecedented wine experience.” \nTo make the experience even more complete for guests of the event\, Vinaltum 2026 benefits from the valuable collaboration of the Goldenstern Townhouse\, the official hospitality partner. Located in the heart of Bolzano’s historic center\, under the city’s medieval arcades\, the Goldenstern is much more than a hotel. It is an expertly restored 800 AD historic building with sixteen unique suites\, each custom-designed and dedicated to one of the people who shaped its history. The panoramic terrace overlooking the rooftops of Bolzano and the Dolomites\, the interiors that blend contemporary design and period stucco\, the breakfast with fresh local products-all speak of that same quest for excellence that animates Vinaltum. A natural partnership\, between two businesses that share the same vision of the beautiful and the good.     \n“Mareccio Castle and the Goldenstern are two places that tell the same soul of Bolzano“-D’Ambra emphasizes-history\, beauty and the pursuit of excellence. Having them both alongside VINALTUM is not a coincidence\, it is a precise choice. We want every moment of the event to match the wines and the Producers we host.”   \nWith the support of Arco Expeditions\, Main Sponsor for logistics\, Goldenstern Townhouse\, Sophienwald with UNO Glassworks\, Castel Hortenberg\, Franz Kraler\, and in collaboration with FISAR\, Vinaltum 2026 is confirmed as an unmissable experience for those who love wine and wish to experience it in a high-class and professional setting\, in the extraordinary crossroads of cultures\, landscapes and flavors that is South Tyrol. \nThe program\nThe program consists of two days: \n\nSunday\, May 17 tastings open to the public\non Monday\, May 18 access restricted to insiders and invited guests.\n\nBoth days will be enhanced by exclusive master classes led by industry experts. \nServing as an interlude between the first and second days is the traditional“Big Bottle Party” on Sunday evening. This is a time of conviviality and celebration where participants can taste large formats in an elegant and engaging atmosphere.  \nMore details on the official Vinatum.co.uk page.

SUMMARY:All over Italy - The Winemaker's Saturday
DESCRIPTION:Vintner’s Saturday returns across Italy every Saturday in May 2026. For the 2026 edition\, the narrative of Independent Winemakers goes widespread! \nThroughout the month of May\, 21 appointments in special places on the peninsula to meet the Winemakers\, taste their wines and discover the identity of the territories through a renewed and dynamic formula. \nThe long-awaited annual appointment of Il Sabato del Vignaiolo\, the day designed by FIVI-Federazione Italiana Vignaioli Indipendenti with the support of Crédit Agricole-to tell the public and enthusiasts about the territorial realities of its more than 1\,800 members\, is back. \nAfter the success of past years\, the 2026 edition marks an important evolution. The event leaves the single national date to become a widespread event during all Saturdays of the month of May. The decision to spread the events over four weekends stems from the desire to respect the extraordinary climatic and meteorological diversity of our peninsula\, but not only.

The public will be able to meet the Winemakers and taste their wines in as many as 15 exceptional settings. >Not only wineries and member farms\, but also places related to culture such as museums and historical monuments\, squares in the capitals and several Points of Affection (PDAs) of the Federation. \nThe format of The Winemaker’s Saturday.\nEach date will welcome the public with the usual spirit of celebration and sharing. \nThe heart of the event will be the tasting tables\, where Independent Winemakers and Winegrowers will tell firsthand about their work\, their wines and the values of the Federation. \nThe program will be enhanced by a free and varied format that\, depending on the delegation\, will include: \n\nIn-depth masterclasses and discussion moments\nDirect purchase of wines from producers\nInvolvement of local artisans and food stands with local products\nMusical interludes and cultural highlights.\n\nFor wine enthusiasts\, it confirms a unique opportunity to discover and relax and experience a day in the company of those who cultivate and protect the vineyard every day\, discovering the vocation of often unique territories. \nThe date of Saturday\, May 30\n\nAsti | Monvì Relais – Costigliole d’Asti (AT)\n\nThe full program and details of each event are posted online at: https://fivi.it/sabato-del-vignaiolo/
