Wine Fair of Piacenza

The Piacenza Wine Fair

The Wine Fair is the major wine exhibition-market that animates the exhibition center of Piacenza Expo every November, in the Le Mose area, on the outskirts of the city. Founded a few years ago, the event has quickly become one of the most followed appointments in the wine calendar of Emilia-Romagna, capable of attracting thousands of visitors and growing with each edition in terms of both the number of wineries and the quality of the offerings.

A showcase of Italian and European wine regions

The heart of the fair is the tasting counters: hundreds of selected wineries from all over Italy and from various European countries offer their labels for tasting, giving visitors the chance to taste, compare, and purchase directly from producers. Alongside the great classics, there is space for small artisanal producers, the winemakers of the Piacenza area — with their Gutturnio, Ortrugo, and Malvasia from the Colli Piacentini — and a rich selection of organic and natural wineries.

Masterclasses, culture, and guided tastings

The Wine Fair is not just about free tastings: the program includes thematic masterclasses led by sommeliers and experts, guided tastings dedicated to sparkling, red, white, and dessert wines, talks, and cultural meetings. Over the years, a literary review dedicated to wine and its stories has also been added, intertwining books, authors, and tastings in a journey that goes beyond the simple glass.

For enthusiasts and professionals

The event's format distinguishes the days dedicated to enthusiasts — the weekend — from the final day designed for industry professionals and the HoReCa sector, with B2B networking opportunities between producers, restaurateurs, and distributors. A model that makes the fair a meeting point between the curious public and the professional wine world.

In Piacenza, a border city between wine lands

Located in the Municipality of Piacenza, the capital of the province of the same name in Emilia-Romagna, the fair benefits from a strategic position between Lombardy, Piedmont, and Emilia, a natural crossroads of different oenological traditions. The Le Mose exhibition center, easily accessible from the highway, offers ample exhibition space, free parking, and services designed to make the visit pleasant, including agreements with city museums.
