Territori DiVini – now in its 10th edition

The VIS (International Volunteers for Development) as part of the "Nutri Ora il Loro Domani" Campaign and the participation in ExpoMilano2015 promotes the the "Territori DiVini" wine–fair event – now in its tenth edition, to support cooperation projects made in Palestine together with the Salesians of Don Bosco. The event is organized in collaboration with the Italian Sommelier Foundation and the "Campagna Amica" Foundation of Coldiretti and with the support of the Italian Development Cooperation–Ministry for Foreign Affairs


The event is scheduled for Friday, July 4th, from 6:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. in an exceptionally open to the public place, in the heart of Ancient Rome: the Cloister of San Tarcisio, in the Park of the Catacombs of San Callisto, in Via Appia Antica, 78.

At the wine–fair tasting, wines donated by the best Italian wineries and the Palestinian wines of "Cremisan" can be tasted. Exactly in Cremisan, the hill between Jerusalem and Bethlehem, the Salesians are working together with young Palestinians in a disputed land and cultivate indigenous varieties that carry with them the sense of peace and solidarity. It is since 1885 that the sale of wines from the winery allows to implement social projects (schools, youth centers, vocational training centers, oratories) and to support the bakery that the Salesians run in Bethlehem and Nazareth.

Protagonists of the evening will be the delicate flavors of the Mediterranean Sea: the wines will be paired with a selection of typical products of the Lazio region of the "Campagna Amica" Foundation of Coldiretti. Participants will be helped in the tasting of wines by the sommeliers of the Italian Sommelier Foundation, who participate in the free evening of solidarity of the VIS. There will be also counters of excellence of Pinot Noir, Riesling, Alto Adige, Toscana (Bolghieri). The VIS is grateful to the Italian wineries participating:
