Sorsi di Mare: Romagna Wines Meet the Riviera

Sorsi di Mare is the new wine exhibition promoted by the Consorzio Vini di Romagna and dedicated to the DOP and IGP wines of the Romagna region. The event takes place in Riccione, in the Province of Rimini, at the Palazzo del Turismo in Piazzale Ceccarini, in the heart of the seaside resort. For the first time, the Consortium is bringing its tasting counter directly to the coast, choosing the Romagna Riviera as the ideal showcase for the region's great white wines.

A Format Designed for Seaside Hospitality

Unlike traditional fairs open to the public, Sorsi di Mare is an event reserved for industry professionals: hoteliers, restaurateurs, owners of wine shops and wine bars, catering managers, and distributors. The goal is to offer Romagna's hospitality professionals a concrete opportunity to update their wine lists for the summer season, discovering new vintages and highlighting local products on Riviera menus.

Over 60 Wineries and Romagna's White Wines

The exhibition and tasting event brings together over 60 Romagna wineries presenting white, sparkling, and rosé DOP and IGP wines. The Consortium, active since 1962 in protecting and promoting the region's wine production, focuses on grape varieties that best interpret the warm season and pair with seafood cuisine. Alongside the winery stands, there are food islands showcasing Romagna's gastronomic excellences.

Masterclasses, Show Cooking, and Table Settings

The program alternates between free tasting and in-depth sessions. The morning opens with the masterclass «Summer in the Glass», led by sommelier Ilaria Di Nunzio, dedicated to Romagna wines perfect for the hot season. In the afternoon, the masterclass «Taste of the Riviera» features a show cooking by chef Tomas Marfella and pairings between dishes and Romagna's DOP and IGP wines. At the end of the day, an exhibition space presents table setting ideas for lunches and dinners, designed to inspire restaurateurs.

Sorsi di Mare in Riccione

With Sorsi di Mare, the Municipality of Riccione and the Consorzio Vini di Romagna strengthen the link between regional enology and seaside tourism, in a region, Emilia-Romagna, where wine culture and hospitality are integral parts of the territory's identity. The initiative is supported by the city of Riccione and in collaboration with Riviera trade associations, including Federalberghi Riccione and Fipe Confcommercio Rimini.
