A must for wine lovers in Rome, Vinòforum is the city's biggest wine and food festival. Enjoy tastings, gourmet cuisine, and late summer nights outdoors.

Vinòforum Rome: discover the top Italian wine tasting event 

Italy’s wines don’t really need an introduction. From the deep reds of Tuscany to the fresh sparkling wines of Veneto and the celebrated Barolo from Piedmont, every region has its own wines that are known around the world. If you want to experience one of the most important wine events in the country, you should plan to be in Rome when Vinòforum is in town.

Every year, this Italian wine tasting festival gathers winemakers, chefs and visitors for a week of good wine and great food. The location may change, but the idea stays the same: this is not a rushed or formal event, it’s a place where you can chat with producers, ask a few questions, discover new wines, and enjoy it all in a relaxed, Italian way.

Since 2004, Vinòforum has been one of the most anticipated Rome food and wine events, growing from a small showcase into a full celebration of Italian taste and culture. Each ticket includes entry, a tasting glass, and eight wine samples. But there's more than just wine. You can stroll through different areas dedicated to wine regions or themes, or book a seat at a masterclass or one of the gourmet dinners curated by top chefs.

Vinòforum works because it keeps things simple. You don’t need to be an expert or spend a lot to have a good time. Some people come just for the tastings, others for the food, some to learn more about Italian wine culture. Whatever your reason, you’ll leave with new ideas, new favorites, and probably a few bottles to take home.

The 2025 edition of Vinòforum will take place from September 8 to 14 in the elegant setting of Piazza di Siena, inside Villa Borghese. It’s one of the most peaceful and scenic corners of Rome.

Opening hours:

• 7 PM to 12 AM (Sunday to Thursday)
•  7 PM to 1 AM (Friday and Saturday)

Tickets for Vinòforum 2025 can be purchased at the entrance or online.

So, what can you expect this year?

• 2,500 wine labels, from timeless classics to emerging trends
• Gourmet cuisine from over 28 restaurants in Rome and Lazio
• Masterclasses and guided tastings with expert sommeliers
• A unique experience in a historic setting
