Hostaria Verona — Festival of Wine
Verona's historic center becomes a large open-air tavern
About Hostaria Verona
A large open-air tavern
Hostaria is the Festival of Wine and the Grape Harvest of Verona, created to offer the unique experience of a large, spread-out tavern in the city's historic center. For three days, Verona's monumental squares and courtyards fill with tasting stands, glasses, and stories about wine.
The route through the squares
The event winds through five main areas of the center: Via Roma and Piazza Bra with its gardens, the Cortile Mercato Vecchio, the Cortile del Tribunale, Piazza dei Signori with its loggias, and the Gardens of Piazza Indipendenza. The main entrances are in Piazza Bra and Piazza dei Signori.
Wine, gastronomy, and culture
Hundreds of labels from wineries and protection consortia guide visitors on a food and wine journey that showcases the great Veronese and Venetian wines. The program includes conferences, guests, live music, and moments dedicated to the culture of responsible drinking.
Verona, capital of wine
In a city that hosts Vinitaly, Italy's most important wine fair, Hostaria brings wine directly to the people, into the heart of Verona, in Veneto, celebrating the deep connection between the territory, the grape harvest, and its wine identity.
