The organizational phase has begun for the fifth edition of the event, which has now become a regular fixture for professionals and enthusiasts in Rome, Lazio, and, we must say, much of Italy.
For this new edition we move to an exceptional location:
the Grand Hotel The Westin Excelsior
in Via Vittorio Veneto 125
Nestled between Villa Borghese and Trinità dei Monti
and not far from Termini Station.
Also near the hotel is the Barberini Metro stop.
and two large guarded car parks
such as the Ludovisi car park and the Saba Villa Borghese car park.
The event format remains the same as always
The facility offers us all the support we need for storing wine and materials, providing a dedicated warehouse for the event.
– TASTING TABLES, MASTERCLASSES, AND WORKSHOPS: Through tasting tables and masterclasses, we will explore the diverse regional flavors. Masterclasses will be given special importance, as they provide a deeper understanding of the various terroirs. The masterclasses for the 2026 edition are currently being finalized. Interested producers will be contacted by the organizers to participate in the conference room.
-WINE MARKET
At the event it will be possible to sell your own wine
directly to the consumer.
