Festa dell'Uva e del Vino, Bardolino

About

The 95th Festa dell'Uva e del Vino runs from 1 to 5 October 2026 along the lakefront promenade in Bardolino, closing out the summer season with a programme built around Bardolino wine, one of Verona's best-known wine styles.

Over the five days there are evening music concerts, food and wine kiosks, promotional stands for Bardolino wine, the investiture of new members of the Confraternita del Vino Bardolino, an opening folk parade through the historic centre, and performances by the Filarmonica di Bardolino with vocal and instrumental concerts and live music.

Bardolino wine is described as bright ruby red, delicately fruity and fragrant, with a dry, soft taste, balance and considerable drinkability, thanks to the morainic hills and Lake Garda that shape the area's main native grape varieties: Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Molinara.
