The festival attracts the participation of more than 50 producers with more than 150 of Italy's most famous wines, along with a series of events dedicated to Italian wine in Ho Chi Minh City.

Not only introducing Italy's top wine products, we also want to introduce to the people of Ho Chi Minh City in particular and the people of Vietnam in general the unique culinary and cultural features of Italy, thereby connecting the two cultures together," said Enrico Padula.

The festival also features many interesting activities such as experiencing Italy's top wines, master classes on Italian wines... led by senior editors of the Italian Wine Magazine, wine experts Lorenzo Ruggeri and Giuseppe Carrus; the award ceremony of the top Italian restaurants (The Top Italian Restaurants), high-quality pizza shops in Ho Chi Minh City according to the ranking of the Top Italian Restaurants Digital Magazine.

The 2023 Italian Wine Festival is organized by the largest association of Italian food and wine producers Gambero Rosso, the Embassy of Italy in Vietnam, the Consulate General of Italy in Ho Chi Minh City, and the Italian Trade Office.

First held in Hanoi in 2017, after a 5-year hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Festival marks its return to Ho Chi Minh City in 2022 and continues in 2023 at Rex Hotel Saigon, 141 Nguyen Hue, Ho Chi Minh City.
