The world's largest wine fair. 4,000 exhibitors, 100,000 visitors, and more wine than any human should taste in 4 days.
Plan your Italy trip →The International Wine and Spirits Exhibition, running since 1967. Over 4,000 wine producers from every Italian region (plus international exhibitors) showcase their wines. It's the single most important event in Italian wine commerce — where deals are made, vintages are launched, and reputations are built.
Vinitaly is primarily B2B (trade professionals, sommeliers, importers, journalists). However, there are consumer-facing events: OperaWine (top 130 Italian producers tasting, invite/ticket), Vinitaly and the City (parallel events in Verona's piazzas with open tastings, often free or cheap), and public tasting sessions within the fair on specific days.
Vinitaly and the City is your best bet — wine bars and tasting stations set up throughout Verona's old town during the fair week. Many are free. The city buzzes with wine energy, every restaurant runs special menus, and you'll taste more Italian wine in 3 days than most people taste in a year. Check vinitaly.com for the latest public access options.
