The small but solid WinesCritic.com team is back with new dates for the Italian Wine Tour La Grande Bellezza 2026.
Five stages, solidly established since the beginning of the series, will feature producers, winemakers, or representatives from wineries selected by WinesCritic.com’s critics, who will present their wineries’ best and latest offerings.
The wine world has suffered severe economic blows in recent years due to various political upheavals; it’s not uncommon to hear producers and wine experts changing their approach to survive this historic moment.
Alcohol terrorism is further proof of how challenging this recent period has been.
Events like this, which seek to guide consumers and professionals alike in their pursuit of quality and excellence, are certainly a way to learn and gain an understanding of what’s new on the market.
The reconfirmed stages for the 2026 Tour are:
- AMSTERDAM – 24 March at NAZKA RESTAURANT
- ZURICH – 25 March at FRASCATI RESTAURANT
- FLORENCE – 27 April at PALAZZO GADDI
- MILAN – 11 May at CHIOSTRI DI SAN BARNABA
- NAPLES – 25 May at HOTEL DE BONART CURIO COLLECTION BY HILTON
Curated locations, each with its own historical or prestigious character, will host the best producers, as rated by WinesCritic.com, and their new labels, which they will present to a select audience of wine enthusiasts and experts.
Abroad, thanks to collaborations with local experts, producers and guests will participate in carefully curated lunches preceded by masterclasses led by Raffaele Vecchione on the labels to be introduced to the market.
In Italy, each event will be accompanied by gastronomic specialties and live music, allowing for a fully immersive tasting experience.
As every year, there will be in-depth masterclasses at the Italian stops, offering an immersive experience that will allow for a deeper understanding of a company, a region, and a specific expression.
In short, WinesCritic.com offers days dedicated to learning and experiencing Italian style, with in-depth discussions at each stop and the opportunity to taste great wines directly with the people who create them!
