Corno di Rosazzo Wine Fair
The DOC wines of the Colli Orientali del Friuli at Villa Nachini Cabassi
About Wine Fair
Showcasing the wines of the Colli Orientali
Every June, Corno di Rosazzo becomes the capital of the Colli Orientali del Friuli wine region. The Wine Fair, now in its 55th edition in 2026, brings the town center to life — centered around Piazza Divisione Julia (Piazza Tocai) and hosting events at Villa Nachini Cabassi — bringing together local wineries for a grand tasting that showcases over 80 DOC labels: from Friulano to Ribolla Gialla, and from Refosco to the rare and precious Picolit.
More than just a tasting
The event is a widespread celebration that weaves together wine, sports, and the landscape. The Wine Walk takes participants through the rows of vines with food and wine stops, while the wine-themed bike ride leads to the discovery of the surrounding hills. Highlights also include the Barrel Race and the Cornium d'Oro Award, the competition that crowns the best local Friulano and Picolit every year.
A land of great white wines
The Colli Orientali del Friuli is one of Italy's most renowned wine-growing areas, famous for its structured white wines and meditation wines. The Fair is the perfect opportunity to meet local producers and understand the deep connection between these wines and the hills that produce them.
