We have written a lot in these weeks about Vinitaly, but we aren’t tired yet to talk about wine. In fact, from 22nd to 24th May there will be the unmissable London Wine Fair at the Kensington Olympia. It is a highly-international event with more than 10.000 wine produced in more than 40 countries that this year will attract 15.000 professionals of the wine sector and wine lovers with the aim to immerse in the world of wine, that will be like doing a real travel in the continents discovering all their productions.
Master classes, tastings, workshops and much more to discover the wines from all over the world. Visit the website.

…and in Italy

Veneto

May is an important and busy month for Veneto. In fact from 12th to 14th May, Treviso will be literary invaded by people that belongs to the Italian alpine trooper for the annual “Adunata degli Alpini” with its parades, concerts and dedicated events… but also lots of wine and food in any moment of the day.

But let’s go in order, starting the month with a great party, the usual “Festa di Primavera” at the winery Ornella Molon at Campo di Pietra (TV). The 7th May from 10am to 6pm will be possible to taste the wines of the wineries together with listening to music with entertainments both for adults and children. Thus, a fantastic sunday to spend with friends and family. This is the official Facebook page of the event, to have further details.
The following week end, together with the “Adunata degli Aplini” there are a couple of events that you couldn’t miss. From 13th to 15th May, Santa Lucia di Piave will held a tasty event; after Mastrobirraio, Fiera Santa Lucia di Piave hosts Gourmandia – Le Terre Golose del Gastronauta, a gastro-tour among the best Italian specialities as salami, cheeses, desserts, wines and beers with rich programme that will amaze you. Visit the website to have further details.
In Bassano del Grappa, land of Alpini par excellence, from 12th to 14th May there will be the best Street Food of Italy. More than 20 Food Truck that will delight your palates with hamburgers, Neapolitan cuoppo, fried food of any kind, cakes and ice creams… we can’t list all the dishes that you will find. Thus the only thing to do is to give a look to their website and don’t make plans for this week end! But if you won’t be free the tour has lots of stops: from 19th to 21st of May in Parco Galvani in Pordenone and from 26th to 28th May it will move towards Sesto San Giovanni at Carroponte.

Even if the main week end is over, Veneto delights you with another interesting event at the end of the month. In May, 28th there will be held Rive Vive, that more than an event it is a tour-walking among the hills of Prosecco of Conegliano Valdobbiadene, a territory that this year has been nominated as UNESCO heritage. Two different itineraries, two different walks to admire, eating and drinking, a breathtaking landscape starting from Farra di Soligo. There are few places available both for the East Tour and the West one, hurry up

Lombardy

The Fair Milano Rho hosts TUTTOFOOD from 8th to 11th of May, the fair of B2B dedicated to Food & Beverage that reaches its 5th edition and it is now the ideal stage for each company to display the products to the world. The event covers all the sectors of food & beverage: pasta, cheese, frozen food, backed products and much much more! Unfortunately, the event is reserved to the workers in the sector and professionals, thus we trust in our readers involved in the field to pay a visit here.

Emilia Romagna

Pizza a go-go in the days 8th, 9th and 10th during the World championship of Pizza, at Palacassa in Parma inside the fair of Parma. You can attend as visitors to the acrobatics of the pizza makers performing for the price Heinz Beck and all the other specialities. Instead, if you are great pizza makers, sign up to participate.

Campania

From 21st to 23rd at Castel dell’Ovo, Vitignoitalia will be held, the first National Fair dedicated to the wines that comes from autochthone and traditional vines in Italy. An event that aims to promote the autochthone vines but also to move the national and international attention on the emerging regions, the southern ones. Tickets on the website.
In the same month, in Naples from 5th to 26th May, another interesting event wine themed: Wine and the City. It was born in 2008 as “Fuori Salone” during the aforementioned Vitignoitalia, and it has become an independent event where the main character is wine, and more than 100 wineries, as many private and public places, museums and art galleries. An event built on the territory that is every year different, to discover Naples in the best way.
