Amarone Opera Prima, 22nd Edition, in conjunction with the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games

We are ready for the next edition of Amarone Opera Prima, the event dedicated to the presentation of the 2021 vintage, to be held in Verona from January 30 to February 1, 2026.

This year, exceptionally for events promoted by the Milano Cortina Foundation at Palazzo della Gran Guardia in view of the upcoming Winter Olympic Games, the preview event will take place in new venues: the tastings and the gala dinner of the 22nd edition (January 30, 31 and February 1) will be hosted in the evocative Gallerie Mercatali of Veronafiere. The opening conference focusing on the appellation and the vintage will instead be held at the Verona Chamber of Commerce, Corso Porta Nuova 96 (January 31).

Preceding the main event, from January 27 to 29, the seventh edition of the Valpolicella Education Program (VEP) will also take place: a highly advanced training course on the wines and the territory of Valpolicella, open to selected industry experts from around the world.
