The 95th Festa dell'uva e del vino is scheduled to take place in Bardolino, on the southeast shore of Lake Garda, from October 1 to October 5, 2026. Organizers expect the five-day festival to attract more than 100,000 visitors.

The event will be held along the lakeside promenade—specifically between Punta Mirabello and Punta Cornicello—and in Carrara-Bottagisio Park. While the specific program for 2026 is pending, the festival typically features food and wine stalls, musical performances, parades, and wine-tasting sessions organized by the Consorzio Tutela Vino Classico DOC to showcase local Bardolino wine. 

Additional planned activities often include marching bands, theatre performances, exhibitions of local grapes, nightly DJ shows, and, in past editions, lakeside fireworks on Sunday evenings. During the summer months, parts of the historic centre are closed to traffic, and parking is largely paid.
