Fiera dei Vini 2024: in Piacenza among the rows of vines to discover the treasures of Italian winemaking

From 16 to 18 November 2024, the Fiera dei Vini returns to Piacenza Expo . Over 200 companies – from all regions of Italy and beyond – have been selected to participate in the event to date. In the 2024 edition, the market exhibition will present an even richer program for visitors who will be able to move among the stands to discover new wine-making realities but also make purchases in view of the holidays, take part in masterclasses conducted by expert wine and oil tasters, follow in-depth studies on the relationship between wine, tourism and territory, discover new projects and interesting publications in the dedicated arena and participate in collateral exhibitions. Monday will be traditionally dedicated to sommeliers, operators and professionals with specially designed proposals. The masterclasses, two per day and purchasable online at 25 euros each, with a focus on different categories, will be an opportunity to discover some of the excellences of the producers present at the fair. Participants will be accompanied in these evocative explorations by four ambassadors of taste: Antonello Maietta , Former President of AIS (Italian Sommelier Association), journalist and food and wine popularizer, Roberto Donadini , President of FISAR (Italian Federation of Sommeliers, Hoteliers and Restaurateurs), Vito Intini , President of ONAV (National Organization of Wine Tasters) and Luigi Caricato , writer, journalist and director of the magazine Olio Officina . Among the activities of the exhibition, which also aims to promote the cultural aspect of the wine sector, it is worth mentioning – building on last year's success – the return of Filari di Libri , the space reserved for book presentations in the main pavilion of the fair. 30-minute windows will be available to independent authors who wish to present publications on the themes of wine and wine tourism, publishing houses and bookstores specializing in oenology, gastronomy, travel, the history of wine and agriculture, to engage with an audience of enthusiasts.
