Naples Winter Wine Festival 2026
Tasca d’Almerita returns to the Naples Winter Wine Festival 2026, one of the most important philanthropic events in the world of wine, taking place from January 30 to February 1, 2026.
Each year, in just a few days, the Festival raises tens of millions of dollars to support educational and assistance programs for children and families in Collier County, Florida. Since 2001, the Festival has raised more than $336 million. The Festival is a collective narrative: dinners with acclaimed chefs and leading figures from the wine world, tastings, and one of the most prestigious charity auctions anywhere.
The lots are not simply “rare bottles”—they are once-in-a-lifetime experiences. According to the renowned magazine Wine Spectator, the Festival is considered the most important charitable wine event in America, as evidenced by the impressive figures supporting one of the noblest causes.
To date, 385,000 children have benefited from the funds raised by the Festival; 350 volunteers have made every edition possible since 2001; and 25,231 bottles have been auctioned, with 100% of the proceeds dedicated to the mission of the Naples Children Foundation.
Once again this year, Tasca d’Almerita returns to the Naples Winter Wine Festival 2026 with a simple idea: to tell the story of an authentic and unexpected Sicily through the people, landscapes, and places that define it.
In 2025, the experience “The Sicilian Legacy of Tasca d’Almerita” achieved an exceptional result, being awarded for $550,000. The 2026 proposal, “The Art of Sicily with Tasca d’Almerita,” is an exclusive invitation to step inside the family’s estates.
The journey begins at Regaleali, with tastings, cooking classes, and a picnic among the vines; it then continues to Taormina, the jewel of the Mediterranean, rich in history and natural beauty. The experience concludes at Tenuta Tascante, with lunch, a vineyard visit, and a guided excursion on Mount Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe.
