Xcellent Spirits

From April 12 to 15, 2026, Vinitaly opens its doors to Xcellent Spirits, the new side show dedicated to the art, culture, and emotion of contemporary drinking.

A place where spirits, liqueurs, and ingredients meet, merge, and give life to new harmonies of flavor.

Here, mixology is not the destination — it’s the starting point.
It’s the language through which a deeper exploration takes shape: the pursuit of the authentic spirit of each product, its story, and the hands and ideas that bring it to life.

Through masterclasses, tastings, and signature encounters, in collaboration with Gang of Spirits, Xcellent Spirits invites bartenders, producers, and enthusiasts on a sensory journey where nothing is conventional.

✨ Xcellent Spirits is the liquid essence of Vinitaly — an experience that blends creativity and craft, technique and inspiration, for those who seek, in every glass, something beyond taste.
