Forlì Wine Festival

A weekend dedicated to wine in Forlì

The Forlì Wine Festival is the major wine event that every year, in January, transforms the exhibition center of Forlì into a meeting point between producers and enthusiasts. Organized by Romagna Fiere Srl at Fiera di Forlì, in the province of Forlì-Cesena (Emilia-Romagna), the exhibition brings together over 500 labels presented directly by wineries in a single weekend, with the opportunity to taste and chat with those who produce the wine.

What to expect

The festival brings together around 200 exhibitors and welcomes around 15,000 visitors each edition. The heart of the event is the free tasting journey: with a single ticket, visitors receive a glass and a personalized bag and can taste wines from all Italian regions, from native grape varieties to great denominations, with a dedicated area also for Emilia-Romagna's production.

• Natural, biodynamic, organic, and conventional wines
• An international selection with labels from France, Slovenia, Austria, Chile, Hungary, and South Africa
• An area dedicated to spirits and liqueurs, from grappa to artisanal gin
• Food stands with cured meats, cheeses, desserts, and fresh pasta prepared on-site

In conjunction with SapEur

The Forlì Wine Festival takes place concurrently with SapEur, the fair of quality typical Italian products, creating a combination of good drinking and good food that enlivens the entire exhibition center. The event also enjoys the collaboration and patronage of AIS Romagna (Italian Sommelier Association), which organizes guided tastings and in-depth sessions.

A tradition grown over time

Born as a showcase for the best wine-producing realities of the territory, the festival has become over the years an anticipated event in the Romagna food and wine calendar. Its formula—free tasting, direct contact with producers, and attention to wine culture—has made it an ideal occasion for both experts and those taking their first steps into the world of enology.
