Moncalieri in Vino

Moncalieri in Vino: quality wine in the heart of the city

Moncalieri in Vino is the food and wine event that brings the historic center of Moncalieri, a major town on the southern outskirts of Turin, Piedmont, to life. For an entire weekend, the streets and squares of the old town fill with tasting stands, wine glasses, and enthusiasts, in a widespread fair format that combines wine discovery with the promotion of the city's heritage.

Over 200 labels from all over Italy

The heart of the event is the grand Wine Fair set up between Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II and Via San Martino: here, visitors can sample over 200 labels offered by dozens of Piedmontese and Italian wineries. Alongside the great local reds—from Barolo to Barbera, and Nebbiolo to the excellence of Monferrato—there are whites, sparkling wines, and indigenous productions from various regions of the peninsula, offering a sensory journey through terroirs and winemaking traditions.

Masterclasses, tastings, and wine culture

The event is not just about free tasting: the program includes free masterclasses requiring mandatory registration, hosted in the evocative Ancient Hall of the City Council, dedicated each year to different territories and denominations. These are complemented by blind tastings led by sommeliers, thematic tours of the wineries, and educational workshops designed to introduce even the less experienced to the world of wine with curiosity and ease.

Street food, music, and the Castle

Between one glass and another, there is plenty of quality street food, featuring local specialties and gastronomic offerings designed to accompany the tastings. Live music fills the days, creating a convivial and relaxed atmosphere. Those who wish to combine the pleasure of wine with exploring the city can take advantage of guided tours of the Moncalieri Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Savoy residence, offered at a reduced rate for event participants.

A celebration for the city and the region

Promoted as part of the Turin Wine Salon and Turin Wine Week network, Moncalieri in Vino is now a highly anticipated appointment in the Piedmontese food and wine calendar. The initiative involves restaurants, local businesses, and producers, transforming into an opportunity for regional promotion and widespread social interaction in the heart of Moncalieri, in the province of Turin.
