Vieste en Rose 2026

The Gargano is ready to glow in pink. On Monday, June 1st, 2026, one of Southern Italy’s most anticipated wine events returns: La Vieste en Rose, now in its seventh edition, promises to be bigger and more international than ever.

Around 50 wineries, selected from the prestigious Vini d’Italia 2026 and Bere Bene 2026 guides by Gambero Rosso, will take part in the event, showcasing labels from across Italy and beyond.

Two days of wine, culture and territory

The 2026 edition will unfold over two days, Sunday, May 31st and Monday, June 1st, featuring a program designed to highlight the local territory and offer high-level content.

The event will open with experiences dedicated to discovering the Gargano area: wine journalists and Gambero Rosso representatives will take part in winery visits and tastings, exploring the region’s identity.

On June 1st, the spotlight will shift to the official press conference and a key highlight: a rosé wine masterclass led by Giuseppe Carrus.
