The 94th edition of the Bardolino Grape and Wine Festival took place from October 2nd to 6th, 2025, on the lakefront of the Garda town, recording record numbers: an increase of 1,300 glasses sold and over 5,000 users for the free ATV shuttle from Peschiera del Garda, to which about 500 passengers from the private service from Malcesine were added.

Among the main events were the traditional parade through the streets of the historic center (Sunday, October 5th) and the investiture of the new brothers of the Bardolino Wine Brotherhood.
