WineSicily Palermo

WineSicily, the Sicilian wine festival in Palermo

WineSicily is one of the most anticipated events in the Sicilian capital's food and wine calendar. Every October, the exhibition brings hundreds of labels and dozens of wineries to the heart of Palermo, turning the city into a meeting point for producers, restaurateurs, sommeliers, industry journalists, and wine lovers. Over the years, the event has established itself as a definitive showcase for the island's wine, highlighting the richness and variety of the Sicilian viticultural landscape.

Villa Trabia, a historic setting

Since 2025, the event has found its home at Villa Trabia, a historic residence with a monumental park in the heart of the Municipality of Palermo. An elegant setting that blends history and charm, designed to host winery tasting stands, masterclasses, and professional meetings. In previous years, the program also extended to the nearby Giardino Inglese (Parco Mattarella), which hosted fringe events and evening entertainment.

Tastings, masterclasses, and professionals

The WineSicily format bridges the gap between the general public and the professional world. On days open to enthusiasts, visitors can sample numerous labels at winery stands, participate in thematic masterclasses led by experts and sommeliers, and discover the territories and grape varieties that make up the Sicilian wine mosaic—from Mount Etna to smaller islands like Pantelleria, and the appellations of Western Sicily. The final day is reserved for industry professionals (B2B), facilitating meetings between producers, distributors, and restaurateurs.

Awards and recognition

Each edition presents the WineSicily awards, the result of an expert jury's work evaluating competing labels and honoring the most representative wines and the territory's most compelling interpretations. It is an occasion that highlights both established big names and the new generation of producers.

An event for Sicily and Southern Italy

With thousands of attendees each year, WineSicily confirms its status as a benchmark event for wine culture in Sicily and Southern Italy. The event takes place in the heart of Palermo, the provincial capital, and is easily accessible, offering visitors the chance to combine wine discovery with exploring one of the most fascinating art cities in the Mediterranean.
