About Wines in Bloom

In Cavezzo, in the Bassa modenese area, Piazza Giacomo Matteotti transforms into an open-air winery with Vini in Festa: two days of tastings with local wineries, street food, a vintage and handmade market, a children's area, and lots of live music. A spring event designed to bring people back to the town center, toasting together with glasses, 2000s DJ sets, and a tribute to Vasco Rossi.

Wines in Bloom: Cavezzo toasts to spring

In the heart of the Bassa modenese, the Municipality of Cavezzo (Province of Modena, Emilia-Romagna) hosts Wines in Bloom, the event that transforms Piazza Giacomo Matteotti into a large open-air winery. Launched in 2026 as its absolute debut, it is a spring event that celebrates the meeting of the best grape varieties, quality gastronomy, and great entertainment, with the stated goal of bringing life and community back to the town center.

Wineries and Tastings

The heart of the event are four partner wineries from the area — Cantina AZ, Venti Venti, Tommaso Tobia Zucchi, and Divinja — ready to tell their story through their wines. The formula is simple and convivial: purchase your personal wine glass with a practical coordinated glass holder bag and embark on a tasting tour among the producers' stands, discovering local labels and enological expressions.

Street Food and Market

Alongside the wine, there's delicious food, with street food offerings entrusted to local businesses: pizza al taglio from Languorino, the menu from Gnock & Roll, and authentic traditional flavors curated by the Pro Loco Cavezzese. Throughout the event, the square also hosts a vintage and handmade market, showcasing creative craftsmanship and objects with a retro charm.

Music and Families

The evenings are enlivened by live music: on Friday, a DJ set entirely dedicated to the 2000s, and on Saturday, the grand finale with Gli Stranianimali, a tribute band to Vasco Rossi. While adults indulge in tastings, the little ones can have fun in a dedicated inflatable play area, making Wines in Bloom an event designed for the whole family.

An Event for the Town

Organized by Reload Events in collaboration with the Pro Loco Cavezzese and with the support of the Municipality of Cavezzo, the event represents—in the words of the municipal administration—a concrete opportunity to enhance the town center and create opportunities for community gathering.
