Riccione Wine & Spirits
The fair of artisanal wine and spirits at PalaRiccione
About Riccione Wine & Spirits
A wine fair in the heart of the Romagna Riviera
Riccione Wine & Spirits is the food and wine event that brings the best of wine and artisanal spirits production to the PalaRiccione (the Riccione Congress Centre, in Via Virgilio 17). Hosted in the Municipality of Riccione, in the Province of Rimini and in Emilia-Romagna, the event takes place in a fully indoor space, overlooking the Riviera: the event continues regularly regardless of the weather, which is not a minor detail for an early spring fair.
Over a thousand labels to taste
The heart of the fair is free tasting: with a single ticket, you gain access to a journey through over 1,000 labels of wines and spirits. Around seventy Italian wineries are present, alongside a selection of European producers, offering sparkling, red, white, and rosé wines from numerous regions. Alongside wine, a large section is dedicated to artisanal spirits: about a hundred spirits including gin, rum, whisky, vodka, and liqueurs, often from small independent distilleries.
Not just glasses: gastronomy and activities
The offering does not end with the glass. The gastronomic area offers platters, cured meats, cheeses, and sandwiches to accompany the tastings, while the format is also designed for families: a kids' area with a free mini-club is available, so the little ones can play safely while parents explore the fair. Services include free trolleys for purchases directly from exhibitors and a carpooling option that rewards drivers.
Direct dialogue with producers
What sets Riccione Wine & Spirits apart is the opportunity to talk directly with producers, hear the story behind each bottle, and purchase your favorite labels on-site. It is a fair that showcases both the region's winemaking tradition and the innovation of new artisanal realities, in a refined and convivial atmosphere that makes it one of the reference events for enthusiasts on the Riviera and beyond.
