4 Highlights You Shouldn't Miss

1. The Grand Tasting at Galleria Umberto I

Imagine holding a glass of crisp Greco di Tufo or bold Taurasi while wandering through the majestic Galleria Umberto I right in the heart of historic Naples. The grand tasting route brings together winemakers from all across the region under one historic roof. You'll be able to sample wines directly from the producers and discover hidden gems from small regional vineyards.

2. Five Wine Regions, One Location

Campania’s volcanic soils, coastal breezes, and sun-drenched hills produce some of Italy’s most distinctive native grape varieties. At Campania Wine, you get a passport to five distinct wine regions without ever leaving Naples:

• Vesuvio: Volcanic, mineral-rich whites and reds (Lacryma Christi).

• Irpinia: Famous for prestigious DOCG wines like Fiano di Avellino, Greco di Tufo, and Aglianico/Taurasi.

• Sannio: The vibrant heartland of Falanghina and rustic, flavorful reds.

• Caserta (Vitica): Ancient heritage wines, including Asprinio de Aversa and Pallagrello.

• Salerno (Vita Salernum Vites): Sun-kissed coastal and hillside pours from the Amalfi Coast and Cilento.

3. Guided Masterclasses for Wine Lovers (AIS Campania)

Want to level up your tasting skills? Head right across the stree to MUSAP (Museo Artistico Politecnico). In collaboration with the Italian Sommelier Association (AIS Campania), dedicated tasting sessions will be hosted for wine lovers across four key flights:

• Sparkling (Spumanti): Crisp, refreshing regional bubbles.

• Whites (Bianchi): Mineral-driven, aromatic, and age-worthy whites.

• Rosés (Rosati): Bright, vibrant, and versatile coastal pinks.

• Reds (Rossi): Bold, structured Aglianico and ancient heritage reds.

4. Showcookings & Gastronomy

What is great Italian wine without incredible food? The event features live showcooking demonstrations and food pairings highlighting authentic Campanian cuisine alongside regional wines.

Tips for Attending

• Pick Your Day: Sunday (Sept 6) is expected to be lively and festive for general visitors, while Monday (Sept 7) offers a slightly more relaxed pace alongside scheduled industry forums.

• Book Masterclasses Early: Guided tasting slots at MUSAP tend to fill up quickly. Keep an eye on www.campania.wine for pre-registration details.

• Explore Nearby: Since the venues sit right in central Naples near Piazza del Plebiscito and Teatro San Carlo, plan time for a stroll through the historic center before or after your tasting session.
