Genoa, the capital of natural wine: VinNatur returns to the Magazzini del Cotone on February 8th and 9th.

In the City of the Lanterna, producers from Italy and abroad will gather for the new edition of the event dedicated to natural wine. New: a digital platform to navigate wineries and enjoy tastings.

VinNatur Genova, the exhibition dedicated to natural wines, returns to the Magazzini del Cotone spaces in the Porto Antico on Sunday 8th and Monday 9th February 2026.

The event, now in its sixth year, is organized by VinNatur – Associazione Viticoltori Naturali, an organization founded in 2006 to bring together Italian and European producers committed to viticulture that respects the land, the grapes, and the local identity. Ninety winemakers from 14 Italian regions , Argentina, Germany, and Slovenia will be present at the stands.
New for the 2026 edition is the debut of a digital platform accessible directly from the Association’s website, designed as a personal guide to the event : without any downloads, visitors can browse the producers’ profiles and navigate the wines available for tasting at the tasting tables. Camillo Donati , Vice President of VinNatur, explains: “This new digital tool will make it even easier to learn about the wineries and the wines available for tasting, without sacrificing the authenticity of a direct encounter with the winemakers.”
On both days, the event will be open from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm . Visitors will be able to engage directly with the winemakers , learn more about natural cultivation and winemaking techniques, and discover wines that express the diversity of the terroirs, the balance of the soil, and the importance of healthy agriculture: these are the founding principles of the VinNatur Association, which has invested in research, training, and internal controls for years to ensure transparency and quality for consumers.
“Natural wine is, first and foremost, a story preserved through shared, informed, and respectful choices,” Donati continues. “With this edition’s poster, which depicts a bottle being pushed by a shoal of anchovies—representing VinNatur members, producers, and enthusiasts—we wanted to pay homage to a collective journey. The bottle advancing in the sea isn’t a drifting object, but rather carries a clear message: environmental awareness and the quality of raw materials are the values ​​we bring to VinNatur Genova.”
Tickets for the event can only be purchased on-site . A daily ticket costs €25 and includes a tasting glass and a drink redeemable in the food court.

VinNatur was founded in 2006 with the aim of uniting small natural wine producers from Italy and Europe in an association that allows them to promote their products: wines produced through healthy agriculture that excludes the use of pesticides, herbicides, and chemical fertilizers, favoring natural practices. At the same time, the Association aims to foster the development of specific expertise in viticulture and natural winemaking. Over the years, the number of member producers has grown significantly, reaching the current 300 companies from twelve different countries.

“Sicilian Style: Red Wines of the Future,” organized by the Enoteca Regionale della Sicilia – South East branch, scheduled for November 24th at The Westin Palace in Milan.

SICILIAN STYLE, RED WINES OF THE FUTURE, EVERYTHING READY IN MILAN, EVENT AT THE REGIONAL WINE SHOP OF SICILY, SOUTH EAST LOCATION.

Everything is ready and there’s very little time left for this unmissable event, designed to outline the future prospects of Sicilian winemaking and to get to know two of the region’s great protagonists: Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG and Frappato.

All is ready in Milan for “Sicilian Style: Red Wines of the Future,” the flagship event organized by the Enoteca Regionale della Sicilia , the South East branch , scheduled for November 24th at the prestigious venue of The Westin Palace. The day, designed to outline the future prospects of the island’s winemaking, will be dedicated primarily to the region’s red wines, particularly two key players: Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG and Frappato.

Following its success in Rome last May, the Enoteca is bringing the format back to Milan, once again in collaboration with the Consortium and the Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG Wine Route. This will be a crucial opportunity for the press, industry professionals, and the wine-loving public to meet and discuss, and will feature Andrea Amadei, a renowned guest speaker on Decanter Rai Radio2. “Intensity and elegance, tradition and modernity. The wines from the Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG region are now a delicious choice for those who enjoy conscious drinking,” comments Andrea Amadei, “and this is due to their ability to convey a unique terroir, where warmth and luminosity impart strength to the wines while the mineral sands of the soils refine and salt the body, making the sip agile. These wines draw strength from two noble native grape varieties, wonderfully complementary yet at the same time fascinating soloists, completing the picture and describing the most iridescent and baroque winemaking of Sicily.”

“We are thrilled to bring to Milan, the beating heart of Italian wine communication and innovation, an event that for us represents a true manifesto: Stile Siciliano: the red wines of the future . It will not be a simple tasting,” emphasizes Silvio Balloni , president of the Enoteca Regionale della Sicilia, the South East branch, “but an intense day of discussion dedicated entirely to the excellence of Sicilian wines, with a special focus on our extraordinary South East.”
