A summer evening among the wines of the Eastern Hills and the sculptures of Braida Copetti Park
Every summer, the Città del Vino network transforms the squares and villages of Friuli Venezia Giulia into stages for good drinking with Le Notti del Vino, a large circuit of food and wine evenings. The Premariacco stop is among the most evocative: it takes place at the Braida Copetti Sculptural Park, in the hamlet of Orsaria, where wine meets contemporary art among the outdoor sculptures.
The heart of the evening are the local wineries: in the 2025 edition, eighteen wineries were present, accompanied by five local gastronomic businesses. They range from the big names of the Colli Orientali del Friuli to smaller, family-run realities, for a journey through the white and red wines that have made this hilly area near the Slovenian border famous.
The program combines guided tastings, gastronomic aperitifs paired with wines, themed mixology sessions, and guided tours among the park's sculptures — over fifty works immersed in greenery. Background music accompanies the evening, in a relaxed atmosphere that makes this stop as much an oenological as a cultural experience.
The stop is organized by the Arthur Zico Association of Orsaria with the Municipality of Premariacco, as part of the regional calendar of Le Notti del Vino promoted by Città del Vino FVG. For 2026, the circuit is confirmed at the regional level: the precise date of the Premariacco evening will be announced in the spring-summer.
For 2026, the Le Notti del Vino circuit by Città del Vino FVG is confirmed, with the schedule of stops presented at Vinitaly. The Premariacco evening at the Braida Copetti Sculptural Park in Orsaria is expected in the heart of summer, with the proven formula that combines wineries from the Eastern Hills, guided tastings, and visits among the park's sculptures. The precise date will be announced by the organizers.

It is advisable to consult the Città del Vino FVG website for the definitive date and program.
