Cape Best at the 2026 Gallarate Wine Festival

From October 2nd to 4th, we are bringing South African wine to Palazzo Broletto, in the heart of Gallarate.

There are many ways to travel through wine. At the Gallarate Wine Festival, Cape Best invites you to travel all the way to South Africa.

From October 2nd to 4th, 2026, we will be at Palazzo Broletto, alongside Italian wine producers including Marchesi Antinori, Tormaresca, and La Braccesca. In this encounter between territories and traditions, we will bring the perspective that guides us every day: discovering what makes South African wines distinctive, starting from the places and the people who produce them.

The South Africa of wine does not have just one face. Among coastal zones, valleys, and inland areas, the climate, soils, and production styles change. It is this variety that we want to share in Gallarate, one glass and one conversation at a time.

When to find us at the Wine Festival

The festival opens on Thursday, October 1st, with a charity dinner at the Scuola Falcone. The events at Palazzo Broletto, at Via Cavour 2, are scheduled from Friday to Sunday:

• Friday, October 2nd, opening from 6:00 PM with tastings, food, and entertainment. Admission to the opening night is free.
