About Assoenologi Congress

The National Congress of Assoenologi, the association of Italian oenologists and wine technicians, chooses Conegliano for its 79th edition, the heart of Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG. Three days of work between the Accademia Theatre and the Santa Lucia di Piave Fair, dedicated to markets, young people, and new oenological challenges, with technical sessions, tastings, winery visits, and a gala dinner in Piazza Cima. A benchmark event for the Italian wine world.

Italian wine meets in Conegliano

The Assoenologi National Congress is the annual event that brings together oenologists and wine technicians from all over Italy. For its 79th edition, the choice fell on Conegliano, in the province of Treviso, in the heart of the Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG region and home to the oldest oenology school in Italy.

Three days of work and tastings

The congress opens at the Accademia Theatre in the historic centre of Conegliano and continues with technical sessions at the Santa Lucia di Piave Fairgrounds. International markets, technological innovations, sustainability, digitalization, and wine tourism are at the centre of the debates, alongside technical tastings of local wines and visits to the wineries of Conegliano Valdobbiadene.

"Markets, young people, and new oenological challenges"

The theme of this edition focuses on the future of the profession and the sector: evolving markets, generational change, and new technical and oenological challenges. To crown the event, the gala dinner in Piazza Cima celebrates the meeting between the national oenological community and the territory hosting the congress.
