Slow Wine Fair, the only international fair for good, clean and fair wine, is an unmissable event for Horeca operators, distributors and importers interested in high-quality labels made from virtuous production methods. Its 5th edition will be held at BolognaFiere from 22 to 24 February 2026.
Organised by BolognaFiere and Slow Food, the Slow Wine Fair will host over 1,000 wineries. Distributed across exhibition islands by country and Italian region of origin, the wineries – mostly certified organic, biodynamic or in conversion – will showcase and offer tastings of their wines, which are the result of sustainable agriculture and rigorous selection.
Trade visitors and buyers will have the opportunity to participate in masterclasses and conferences to deepen their knowledge of vintages, terroirs, and producers, and take advantage of an exclusive and free matchmaking service to specifically filter the exhibitors they want to meet.
In addition to wine, the three-day fair will also highlight other aspects of healthy and sustainable eating, highly qualified and geared towards Horeca visitors: from cider to the specialty coffees from the roasters of the Slow Food Coffee Coalition. Not to mention the bitters of the Fiera dell’Amaro d’Italia, promoted by Amaroteca and ANADI, with the best variations of this typically Italian end-of-meal product, which has recently regained popularity and is increasingly featured on restaurant menus.
With their Slow Wine Fair admission ticket, visitors will also have access to SANA Food, BolognaFiere’s b2b format on organic and natural products for the Out-of-Home sector, located in an adjacent pavilion. A unique opportunity to embark on an integrated journey into sustainable and high-quality food and beverage.
Restaurants, taverns, wine bars and wine shops who offer good, clean and fair labels can apply for the Terroir and Slow Spirit Wine List Award on the Slow Wine Fair website. The award ceremony will be held on 23 February at BolognaFiere.
And the ‘Restaurateurs Promotion’ is also available for the same target audience, allowing guests to reach BolognaFiere conveniently by coach at discounted rates, with departures from various Italian cities.
