Prato Wine 2026 at Palazzo Vaj: wine meets historic architecture

Attendees can sample more than 100 labels, with guided tastings led by producers and FISAR sommeliers, offering a broad overview from local autochthonous grapes to acclaimed bottlings.

A practical advantage for visitors: bottles tasted during the event can be purchased on-site at special fair prices, allowing guests to take home selected wines and spirits at favourable conditions.
