Destination Lugana: Discover the New Premier Italian Wine Destination

Three cities, four stops, and over 150 guests—including journalists, importers, sommeliers, and some of the most influential American restaurateurs—will come together for Destination Lugana. This traveling showcase tells the story of a unique region, guided by the distinctive character of Turbiana, the native grape variety that represents Lugana DOC.

From the summer breezes of Lake Garda to the bustling streets of American cities, our roadshow will stop in New York (May 5), Miami (May 8-9), and San Francisco (May 12). We'll connect with those who select, promote, and pour Italian wine daily in the most influential bars, wine shops, and media outlets across the United States.

An Immersive Journey Through Terroir and Personality

Discover nearly thirty wineries, each offering a unique expression of Lugana. This exploration celebrates both varietal fidelity and personal expression, unveiling the intricate nuances of the grape.

One Vision, One Destination
