DIVINO - ITALIAN WINE & LIFESTYLE FESTIVAL

In October, Košice will be transported to Italy for three days. DiVino 2026 – Italian Wine & Lifestyle Festival will bring Italian wineries, exceptional wines, cuisine, music, and the atmosphere typical of the Italian way of life to the Kunsthalle in Košice from October 15 to 17, 2026.

The Kunsthalle in Košice will be filled with Italian winemakers and their wines from various regions of the country. Regions represented will include Trentino–Alto Adige, Valdobbiadene, Treviso, Piedmont, Tuscany, Umbria, Apulia (Puglia), and Sardinia.
This will allow visitors to taste wines from completely different parts of Italy—from the northern wine regions to the sunny south—all in one place.

The Italian lifestyle isn’t just about good wine. Gastronomy and shared moments over a meal play an equally important role.
That’s why the DiVino festival will also feature Italian culinary specialties to complement the wine tastings. The festival’s goal is to create an atmosphere where visitors won’t just wander from one winery to another, but will be able to enjoy the entire evening in the spirit of true Italian “dolce vita.”

A musical program will round out the festival’s atmosphere.
The band WOODNITE will perform at DiVino 2026, and a DJ will also provide the musical entertainment throughout the festival. The combination of wine tastings, gastronomy, and live entertainment is designed to make DiVino a social evening where you can come not only to discover new wines but also simply to enjoy a taste of Italy in Košice.

On Thursday, October 15, 2026, from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., the DiVino MASTERCLASS will take place in the Kunsthalle conference rooms.
The program will feature special lectures and networking opportunities with Italian winemakers and culinary experts from both Italy and Slovakia. The Masterclass will thus provide a space for a deeper exploration of wine, gastronomy, and the people working in this industry.

DiVino brings to Košice a concept that combines the essential elements of Italy—quality wine, good food, music, social gatherings, and the ability to enjoy time together.
