18 years of passion, over 250 labels, and the authentic voices of Piedmont: on Monday, April 19th, 2027, the highly anticipated Barolo & Friends returns to Copenhagen.

For one exceptional afternoon and evening, the iconic Foyer of the Copenhagen Opera House on Holmen transforms into the capital’s ultimate stage for fine Italian wine. Straight from the UNESCO, protected hills of Langhe, Roero, and Monferrato, dozens of acclaimed winemakers will travel to Denmark to personally pour their most celebrated vintages alongside hidden territorial gems.

During this exclusive walk-around tasting, attendees can explore more than 250 curated labels, from the regal power of Barolo and Barbaresco to the vibrant elegance of Nebbiolo, Barbera, and native indigenous varieties.

In 2027, Barolo & Friends deepens its institutional partnerships by welcoming back the Associazione Produttori del Nizza as an official partner. A dedicated collective tasting counter will spotlight Nizza DOCG, showcasing Barbera at the pinnacle of its structure, savory complexity, and remarkable aging potential.

The Experience for Wine Lovers

As usual, the event will be divided into three distinct sessions. The first session will be reserved for professionals, while the following two will be open to private consumers with prepaid tickets.

Upon arrival, you will receive your professional tasting glass, your key to a two-hour journey through Piedmont’s most storied terroirs. Engage directly with the winemakers, compare iconic vintages, and uncover new cellar favorites.

Every consumer ticket also enters you into the raffle to win an exclusive Magnum bottle, drawn live across both evening sessions!

Masterclasses and Professional Insight for the Trade

Wine professionals can also look forward to two exclusive masterclasses, tailored for those seeking a deeper understanding of Piedmont’s wine universe.

Popular Blind Tasting Competition Returns

Following last year’s resounding success, the Piedmont Blind Tasting Competition returns for its 3rd edition. Sommeliers and trade specialists can challenge their palate individually or in teams of two/three people, competing for prestigious Magnum bottles and an exclusive 3-day wine journey to the Langhe.
