Amarone e Dintorni, Fumane ★ 4.3
A smaller, village-scale Valpolicella wine event in Fumane, one of the five sub-zones of Valpolicella Classico. Producers from the immediate Fumane valley open their cellars for free tastings and guided walks through the terraced Corvina vineyards. Amarone and Valpolicella Classico Superiore are the principal pours.
La Grande Festa del Vino
Villa Farsetti in Santa Maria di Sala, in the province of Venice, hosts a two-day wine fair open from 10:00 to 20:00 that pours wines from Italy and abroad rather than only from Veneto. The 19th edition in 2026 listed 155 exhibitors from 29 countries and more than 420 labels. Entry is free, but tasting needs a Wine Card bought at the event: three tastings cost 18 euros and eight tastings 35 euros. It has run over two days since 2015.
Prima del Torcolato
Breganze celebrates Torcolato, the sweet DOC Breganze wine made from dried Vespaiola grapes, on a Sunday in January. Piazza Mazzini holds a market of local products and a Torcolato stand, the Diedo Tower offers a Torcolato tasting at height, and a parade by the Magnifica Fraglia del Torcolato leads to a toast with the first must of the new vintage, pressed in the square. A Fruttaio Tour opens participating wineries for free guided visits. The 31st edition was held on 18 January 2026.
ViWine Festival
Vicenza's Piazza dei Signori hosts three days of wine tastings, masterclasses, food and music. The organisers announced more than 40 wineries and over 200 labels for 2026. Entry to the square is free, while the tasting path needs a paid package that includes a glass and tasting tokens. The 2026 edition was the seventh and added a Fuori Festival area with spirits and music at Corte dei Bissari.
Le Notti del Vino a Breganze
Two summer evenings in Piazza Mazzini in the centre of Breganze, run by the Pro Loco di Breganze with the patronage of the Comune. The format changed for 2026: each evening offers wine from the Breganze DOC zone, food, music, entertainment and cultural events, and tasting kits are sold on the evenings. Città del Vino promotes the Notti del Vino series nationally.
