Barcolana Trieste regatta and waterfront wine programme ★ 4.3
Barcolana is the regatta held on the Gulf of Trieste on the second Sunday of October, organised by the Societa Velica di Barcola e Grignano since 1969 and ranked as a major international sailing event by participating boats. The associated nine-day waterfront programme on Piazza Unita d'Italia and Molo Audace features Carso producer stands (Kante, Vodopivec, Skerk, Zidarich) and Trieste's Mitteleuropean coffee and buffet kiosks.
Tip: The Carso producer stands run in parallel with the Barcolana regatta on the second Sunday of October; arrive on the Saturday for the producer pours before the race-day crowd.
