VinNatur Tasting 2026

From Saturday, April 11th to Monday, April 13th , 2026, the 21st VinNatur Tasting , the annual event organized by the VinNatur Association, returns to Gambellara (Vicenza). For three days, the Margraf showroom will host 180 winemakers from six countries—Albania, Austria, France, Germany, Slovenia, and Spain—and 19 Italian regions, united by their commitment to sustainable viticulture.
​
New to the 2026 edition will be the presence of the Association des Vins Libres d'Alsace , which will participate with a shared tasting table . Founded in 2019, AVLA now has around 60 members and represents a new generation of Alsatian natural wine producers. This year, VinNatur Tasting will also join the celebrations for the centenary of the birth of Luigi Veronelli , journalist, editor, and food and wine writer, commemorating his extraordinary contribution to Italian wine culture and his role as a pioneer of wine criticism.
​
"Luigi Veronelli made a decisive contribution to redefining the meaning of viticulture in our country: he didn't just talk about wine, he also defended and gave a voice to winemakers. We recognize him as a clear precursor of the values ​​now considered fundamental in the natural wine sector," explains Angiolino Maule , President of VinNatur. "That's why we chose to remember him on this anniversary, drawing attention to what he meant and continues to mean."
​
Since its first editions at Villa Favorita, VinNatur Tasting has become a point of reference for enthusiasts, professionals, and those curious about drinking according to nature. This edition will also feature plenty of opportunities for meeting and learning: three masterclasses , Guided by wine experts, they will enrich the event's program.
