Not just tastings on the beach, but an event designed to showcase the work, stories, and visions behind every bottle.
On Saturday, June 20, the third edition of Vini Bagnanti returns to San Vincenzo , the initiative born from the collaboration between the Riva degli Etruschi Resort and the Vini Migranti project conceived by Teseo Geri, which this year will once again transform a kilometer of private beach on the Etruscan Coast into a large trail dedicated to artisanal wine, gastronomy, and local culture.
Following the success of the first two editions, which attracted over 1,000 participants, Vini Bagnanti returns with an even more comprehensive program, developed in collaboration with Slow Food Condotta Costa degli Etruschi, Slow Wine, the University of Gastronomic Sciences of Pollenzo, and the Pollenzo Wine Bank.
The underlying theme of the event will be the concept of "Right," which will spark a journey that explores the relationship between wine, environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and production identity, focusing not only on the final product but also on the work of the people who work in the world of taste every day.
For this new edition , the tasting experience will be accompanied by a series of collateral activities designed to explore the relationship between wine, the environment, and food culture.
- Sensory journey with interactive and tasting workshops by the University of Gastronomic Sciences of Pollenzo
- The Giusto Workshop, on the terrace of the central park, organized by Slow Wine and the Pollenzo Wine Bank. This event goes beyond traditional tastings to delve into the ethical and social aspects of wine production. Through a selection of wines, participants will be guided on a journey of reflection and discovery, where flavor marries responsibility and storytelling speaks to all that is profoundly Giusto.
- Food area that will complement the resort's five restaurants with refreshment points selected by the Slow Food Costa degli Etruschi convivium
- Thematic areas designed to encourage direct dialogue between producers and the public, highlighting the stories, production approaches, and identities of individual companies.
The selection of participating companies, curated by Teseo Geri, follows very specific criteria: territorial identity, sustainability, production consistency, and attention to the human and cultural value of wine . This approach is perfectly in line with the philosophy of Riva degli Etruschi, an organization that has been promoting an integrated model of hospitality, agriculture, and sustainable food culture for years .
The wineries will be represented not only by Italian producers, with a strong focus on Tuscany, but also by international producers from Spain, Hungary, Slovenia, Greece, and Argentina, offering a global panorama strongly rooted in the diversity of regions and production cultures.

Riva degli Etruschi, with over 60 years of history, today represents an integrated system of hospitality, agricultural production, and gastronomic culture deeply rooted in the territory.
The resort extends across 35 hectares of parkland and agricultural land, with over 8,000 trees and shrubs, more than 400 accommodations, five restaurants, an organic farm, and sustainable wine production.
The resort's on-site produce includes vegetables, ancient grains, the Val di Cornia purple artichoke, a Slow Food Presidium—of which the resort is one of Italy's leading producers—extra virgin olive oil from Tenuta Biliotto, and the Riva degli Etruschi wine range, developed under the guidance of Michele Satta and designed to showcase the region.
It is precisely from this vision that Vini Bagnanti was born, an event where wine, food, landscape and gastronomic culture dialogue naturally , transforming the beach and the resort into a meeting place and discussion between producers, operators and enthusiasts.
Participating in Vini Bagnanti also means experiencing the resort in its entirety, from its hospitality to its culinary offerings.
The over 400 accommodations, including hotel rooms, villas and residences, welcome a diverse audience, while the resort's five restaurants offer different experiences:
Mariva Dune – fine dining
Nautical – seafood cuisine
Mistral – Tuscan cuisine
All'Orto – zero-mile offering with products from the resort's organic farm
Magù – restaurant & pizzeria
The entrance ticket, which can be purchased online on the Vini Bagnanti website, will cost €20 and include a glass, a personalized wine strap, unlimited tastings, and access to the sensory experience.
The Laboratorio del Giusto, dedicated to the ethics of the glass, will have limited places and a separate ticket.

“ There is great anticipation for this new edition of Vini Bagnanti, especially for the selection of winemakers that includes the participation of a Lebanese company—despite the difficulties of the war—winners from Champagne, confirmations from Hungary, Mucha Cosa from Spain and, obviously, a lot of Italy: from Alto Adige and Franciacorta to Sicily, including the islands.
It's a rare opportunity for wine lovers and others to connect with producers, taste good wine, and have fun enjoying the sea and the wonderful energy the event generates. If three is the perfect number, this third edition will be our best yet!
Vieri Mantelli (Marketing & Revenue Director of Riva degli Etruschi)
“ Vini Bagnanti reaches its third edition and does so with the awareness of those who want to not only organize an event, but rewrite the rules of hospitality.
Three years ago, we decided to challenge the unspoken nature of traditional hospitality, transcending the concept of a structure as an exclusive place, separated from its surroundings. We chose to be an open ecosystem, a laboratory of excellence where sustainability isn't just a slogan, but the only possible language.
We selected producers and partners not based on market logic, but on their elective affinity with our core values. In this context, wine ceases to be the end and becomes the means: a powerful, almost ancestral vehicle for conveying strong messages. Thanks to the synergy with Slow Food and the University of Pollenzo, this year we are showcasing the concept of "Righteousness," which transcends the glass. Don't expect an academic masterclass: wine will be the voice that tells a long and profound story of social redemption and environmental respect.
Vini Bagnanti, as a whole, is an event that proclaims its identity: that of a region that never compromises on its values. For the 2026 edition, we aim to surpass the 2025 attendance, not because of sheer numbers, but because we want our message to reach as far as possible.
Vini Bagnanti collaborates with Slow Food Costa degli Etruschi, Slow Wine, the University of Gastronomic Sciences of Pollenzo, and the Wine Bank.
