Get ready for the return of the Malvasia Festival in Sala Baganza, held at the stunning Rocca San Vitale on May 16th and 17th, 2026! This event is a vibrant celebration of Malvasia, the iconic wine of the Parma region. Join us for an engaging conference, exclusive masterclasses led by AIS Emilia sommeliers, and a special "Magnarocca" dinner. This year marks the festival's 30th anniversary, with a fascinating theme: "Is Parma's Malvasia still young?"
Indulge in a delightful culinary journey featuring local specialties. Start with a mixed appetizer perfectly paired with sparkling Malvasia DOC. Next, savor a unique 'Bomba di riso.... scoppiata' (a deconstructed rice dish) accompanied by Malvasia dei Colli di Parma DOC. For your main course, enjoy a flavorful roast stuffed with Malvasia and sautéed vegetables, served with Rosso dei Colli di Parma DOC. Conclude your meal with a traditional De.Co. dessert from Sala Baganza, the rich walnut tart, complemented by a sweet Malvasia passita.
