National Photography Contest: Fiera dei Vini tells the story of wine through images.

The contest, open to professionals and amateurs alike , invites you to use images to narrate the traditions, gestures, and places associated with winemaking. Entries, accompanied by a completed entry form and signed rules, must be submitted by October 9th to segreteria@fieradeivini.it ; a jury will select the winners , who will receive awards during Fiera dei Vini 2026. A public jury will also award a prize , which will vote on social media by November 2nd. There are two categories: "The Vineyard Factory" focuses on the sustainability of viticulture and, more generally, on work in the vineyard and the daily practices that precede the arrival of wine in the glass. "Wine in the Osteria" focuses on conviviality and the social aspects of wine as a culture of encounter, highlighting places and occasions where it becomes a connection.

"Now in its fourth edition, with 19 Italian regions already represented by 230 participating exhibitors, we see Fiera dei Vini growing in numbers and identity ," explains Gregorio Amoretti , event manager. "Our goal is to create an increasingly comprehensive experience . That's why we've designed a food offering that goes beyond simple service, becoming a proposal that engages with wine and the region, making the visit even more meaningful."

Another new feature of the 2026 edition will be the creation of a true Osteria Piacentina within the fair . Each gastronomic specialty will be an integral part of the visitor experience: no longer an accessory, but a tool designed to accompany tastings , helping to illustrate the relationship between cuisine, wines, and local identities.
​
A new approach also for the masterclasses : a program designed to share stories and create opportunities for interaction, using a more direct and accessible language. Among the events already confirmed is a guided tasting reserved for producers and wine lovers under 30 , with four labels to taste, to explore the future of wine through discussion between the new generations.
