Cocco...Wine Stories
The spring sibling of Cocco...Wine: on 1 May Cocconato's historic centre hosts a day of tastings, talks and masterclasses titled 'Messaggi in bottiglia', with the wineries grouped into themed areas, each with its own enoteca.
Why it's special
It's the September festival's format in a smaller, more reflective version. The participating cellars are grouped by theme, each theme a 'message in a bottle', and there are talks and masterclasses along the route. In 2025 the day ended with a party in the piazza.

After more than twenty years of Cocco...Wine at the end of summer, the Consorzio Cocconato Riviera del Monferrato and Go Wine added a spring date in 2025. Cocco...Wine Stories takes over the old centre on 1 May. The wineries are grouped by theme rather than lined up along one street, each group pours from its own enoteca, and talks and masterclasses fill the gaps between glasses.
