Feel Venice 2026 attendance boom: 43% increase compared to the previous edition

Feel Venice 2026 attracted 1,000 attendees on Saturday, May 23, at the Giardino Mistico dei Carmelitani Scalzi , a 43% increase over the previous edition . The event, organized by the Consorzio Vini Venezia and now in its ninth edition, was created to promote the local denominations: Malanotte del Piave DOCG , Lison DOCG , Venezia DOC , Lison Pramaggiore DOC , and Piave DOC .

During the event, the public was able to taste wines from 20 selected wineries and participate in two workshops led by wine educator Fabio Gobbi , dedicated to Lison DOCG and Malanotte del Piave DOCG. Both events were sold out, confirming the interest in two appellations representative of the lands between Venice, Lison Pramaggiore, and the Piave River.

"This year, Feel Venice successfully conveyed the most authentic identity of our region through wine," stated Giorgio Piazza , President of the Consorzio Vini Venezia. "The significant growth we've seen demonstrates the public's growing interest in experiences that combine tastings, culture, and the valorization of our historical heritage. We are proud to contribute to the preservation of the Mystic Garden and the experimental vineyard that hosts us, adding prestige to our event."

The protagonists of Feel Venice 2026 were the producers : Ai Galli, Barbaran Vini, Bonotto Vini, Ca' di Rajo, Castello di Roncade, De Stefani, Frassinelli, Furlan, La Frassina, Le Carline, Molon Luigino, Molon Ornella, Ornella Bellia, Rizzetto Vini, Sessantacampi, Tenuta San Giorgio, Terra Musa, Terre Maddalena, Vigne del Bosco di Olmè and Villa Bogdano.

The event was further enhanced by guided tours of the garden within the walls of the Convent of the Discalced Carmelite Fathers and the Church of Santa Maria di Nazareth, open to the public for the occasion. Led by Prior Father Ermanno, they offered the opportunity to experience a journey that intertwined wine culture and the valorization of the local historical heritage. Reflecting the profound connection between the event and its host, the proceeds from the event were donated to the Discalced Carmelite Friars for the preservation of the Mystical Garden .
