Vinitaly and the City Calabria in Wine at the Sibari Archaeological Park

A marriage between history and viticulture

From July 17 to 19, 2026, the Sibari Archaeological Park will host the third edition of Vinitaly and the City – Calabria in Wine. The event aims to be a platform for promoting the regional oenological identity, integrating contemporary wine production within one of the most significant archaeological sites of Magna Graecia. The location is not accidental: the Park, which preserves the vestiges of ancient Sybaris, offers a context in which the millenary agricultural tradition of the Mediterranean territory is rediscovered through modern oenological expressions.

An experience between vineyards and artifacts

The program is divided into three days dedicated to both enthusiasts and professionals in the wine sector. The initiative includes a dense calendar of guided tastings and specialized masterclasses aimed at deepening the organoleptic profile of native Calabrian grape varieties. Meetings with producers allow for direct discussion on winemaking techniques and sustainability strategies applied to the local agricultural sector, in a constant dialogue between the historical heritage of the site and technological innovation in the vineyard.

Insights and wine culture

In addition to tasting paths, the event is configured as a space for cultural reflection. The layout of the exhibition spaces, designed to integrate with the architecture of the park, encourages complete immersion in the surrounding landscape. The participation of industry experts and sommeliers ensures a high technical standard for the debates, outlining the state of the art of regional viticulture. Calabria in Wine confirms itself as a significant event for understanding the evolution of the sector, capable of combining the scientific rigor of archaeological research with the dynamism of the current wine market.
