About Wine Festival

The Sestri Levante Wine Festival is the wine exhibition that enlivens the Ex Convento dell'Annunziata every spring, overlooking the Bay of Silence. Two days of guided tastings, masterclasses, and meetings with producers, where Liguria's heroic grape varieties dialogue with the enological excellences of all Italy. Alongside wine, there is also space for craft beers, cider, and local gastronomic products. A curated and high-quality event, designed for enthusiasts and the curious who want to discover the secrets of Vermentino, Ciliegiolo, and many other labels.

Wine takes center stage in Sestri Levante

The Sestri Levante Wine Festival is the wine event of Sestri Levante (Metropolitan City of Genoa), hosted in the evocative setting of the Ex Convento dell'Annunziata, a short walk from the famous Baia del Silenzio. Two days dedicated to wine culture, with a program that compares the heroic grape varieties of Liguria with enological excellences from all over Italy.

Tastings, masterclasses, and producers

Visitors can meet the producers directly and discover the secrets of wines like Vermentino or Ciliegiolo through guided tastings and in-depth masterclasses. Alongside wine, there is a selection of craft beers, cider, and quality gastronomic offerings, in a journey that combines local excellences and enological curiosities to discover.

A festival that celebrates the territory

Having reached an important milestone, the Wine Festival has become a reference event for lovers of good drinking in Liguria. The combination of the quality of the offerings, the presence of food artisans, and an exceptional location like the Annunziata makes the event a complete experience, capable of combining tasting, culture, and the beauty of the Tigullio landscape.
