A program full of wine events
On Saturday 9th April, just before the official opening day on Sunday 10th, the special event OperaWine, organized with Wine Spectator, will take the stage at the Gallerie Mercatali. The 11th edition of the preview will feature 130 top Italian producers from all regions selected by the American magazine.

And the Organic Hall will offer a deeper insight into the ever-expanding world of organic wines.
And, of course, there'll be a lot of wine tastings going on. Events include about 30 conferences and 76 super-tastings, starting with the exclusive Vinitaly Grand Tasting, Tasting Ex...Press in collaboration with the most important international trade magazines, tastings from around the world in the International Hall and the Vinitaly Tasting-The DoctorWine Selection coordinated by journalist Daniele Cernilli, designed for buyers and operators in the HO.RE.CA. sector.
Plus events like “Iconic Women in Italian Wine”, guided by international wine journalists Monica Larner and Alison Napjus (from Wine Advocate and Wine Spectator), the Tre Bicchieri 2022 walk-around tastings by Gambero Rosso and “Italian native reds – The power of lightness” presented by the first Italian Master of Wine, Gabriele Gorelli.
Vinitaly and the City (Into the Wine)
The off-show wine event in the historic centre of Verona, from April 8 to April 11, will bring wine and wine culture all around the city: four days packed with wine tastings, master-classes, show cookings, performances, musical and cultural events, theme talks, live shows, flash mobs, concerts, DJ sets, tours and guided visits.
The city centre will become an open-air theatre with installations, theme sets and performances, a full immersion stage for wine storytelling: the river, the monuments, the historic gates and towers, the city walls, the network of Civic Museums, streets and squares, shops and catering businesses will all be involved into telling the story of wine in all its forms, with a beautiful route between tastings and shows.
