Vino e Pane

Italy to Zurich

Vino e Pane Festival

A little wine from large bottles, a lot of joie de vivre, live music, the finest food, friends and family – that's our Vino e Pane Festival. For over 130 years, the Vergani family has shaped Zurich's culinary culture. What began with Carlo and Adele Vergani and a few barrels of wine from Italy is now celebrated by 4,500 guests annually in the heart of Zurich.

It will be loud, lively, and quintessentially Italian: with wines, delicacies, and people like you'd only find in Rome. There will be footballers, old and young, chefs, sommeliers, restaurant owners, and garage owners – and of course: the wines and the Vergani family.

For this occasion, we're closing Zentralstrasse between Bertastrasse and Gertrudstrasse – so that all the friends have plenty of room. The stage is set up right on the street, with a huge bar next to it. No crowds and no long waits. Just friendship, love, and fun!

We look forward to seeing you and your friends!
