Baveno Wine Festival

A wine festival with a view of the Borromean Islands

The Baveno Wine Festival is one of the most anticipated food and wine events of the summer on Lake Maggiore. The event takes place at Arena Nadur, the open-air venue located at the end of the Baveno lakefront promenade in the Verbano-Cusio-Ossola province (Piedmont), in a scenic setting overlooking the lake waters and the famous Borromean Islands.

The event is organized by Go Wine, a national association based in Alba that has been promoting wine culture and wine tourism for years, in collaboration with the Municipality of Baveno and its Tourism Department. The format is that of a convivial and relaxed evening, perfect for discovering great Piedmontese wines in the cool of the evening, as the sun sets behind the Ossola mountains.

The tasting counter and Piedmontese wineries

The heart of the festival is the tasting counter, where a selection of Piedmontese wineries welcomes enthusiasts to introduce their wines and share the stories and landscapes of the Piedmontese vineyards. Tastings are unlimited and self-guided: a single ticket allows you to move between the counters and taste at your leisure.

The Moscato Wine Festival in Tour

A special section of the evening is dedicated to the Moscato Wine Festival in Tour, featuring a selection of over 30 labels from various Italian regions: from Piedmont's Moscato d'Asti to Sicily's Moscato di Pantelleria. A journey into the world of aromatic and sweet wines that enriches the tasting experience.

Music and local gastronomy

The festival is not just about wine: the tastings are accompanied by live music and a food area featuring local products and regional culinary specialties. The atmosphere is that of a summer evening by the lake, amidst wine glasses, local flavors, and great music, in one of the most charming villages on Lake Maggiore.

Why it's worth attending

The Baveno Wine Festival combines the quality of wineries selected by Go Wine with the scenic beauty of the lakefront: it is hard to find a more fascinating setting for a tasting experience. It is the ideal occasion for wine lovers and those visiting the Verbano-Cusio-Ossola area during the summer months.
