OperaWine

The exclusive preview of Vinitaly

OperaWine is the tasting that inaugurates Vinitaly every year, the most important Italian wine fair. The event is held in the evocative Gallerie Mercatali, at Veronafiere, in the heart of Verona, and is organized by Veronafiere in collaboration with the prestigious American magazine Wine Spectator.

Symbolic wineries of Italian enology

Wine Spectator selects a select group of Italian wineries each year, divided into categories that tell the evolution of national wine: from historic and iconic realities to new emerging voices. The tasting offers operators and journalists the opportunity to discover some of the best Italian labels, presented directly by the producers.

An event for professionals

By invitation only for international journalists and operators, OperaWine represents a top-level showcase, capable of anticipating the themes and trends of the great wine fair that follows. It is the moment when Italian wine presents itself to the world in its most authoritative guise.

Verona, capital of wine

Hosted in Verona, a symbolic city of Italian enology thanks to Vinitaly, OperaWine consolidates the role of the Veneto capital as an international wine crossroads, combining tradition, quality, and global reach on the eve of the trade fair event.
