Italian Wine Podcast Strengthens Media Ties for Grandi Langhe Festival 2026

In an exciting development for wine enthusiasts and industry professionals, the Italian Wine Podcast has renewed its partnership with Grandi Langhe e il Piemonte del Vino, officially becoming the media partner for the Grandi Langhe 2026 event. Scheduled to take place on January 26-27 at OGR (Officine Grandi Riparazioni) in Turin, this premier gathering of Piedmont's finest wineries promises to be an invaluable experience for those engaged in the wine sector.

Celebrating Excellence in Piedmont Wines

Grandi Langhe is not just an event but a pivotal B2B occasion dedicated to wine professionals from all corners of the globe. Attendees can expect to discover an extensive array of wines from the renowned regions of Langhe, Roero, and the greater Piedmont area. As a dedicated media partner, the Italian Wine Podcast will bring its signature approach to the festival, featuring a series of exclusive interviews with key players in the industry including producers, buyers, and influential thought leaders. This initiative aims to deliver qualitative insights and pivotal updates from this vital Italian wine region to its expanding international audience.

Stevie Kim, founder of the Italian Wine Podcast, expressed her enthusiasm for this collaboration: "Italy is famous for its diversity and its fierce individualism, so bringing more than 500 producers together under one roof is no small feat. Grandi Langhe proves what is possible when a region chooses collaboration over fragmentation. It offers an unparalleled snapshot of Piedmont today, and that collective strength is exactly what international markets are looking for."

What's New for 2026?

Francesco Monchiero, President of Piemonte Land of Wine, highlighted the ambitious plans for the 2026 festival. After witnessing over 5,000 attendees in the previous year—including approximately 20% from abroad—the event has set a new standard for collaboration and representation.

"The 2025 edition represented a major leap forward for Grandi Langhe, marking the first time that wineries from across all of Piedmont participated together. It effectively marked 'year zero' of the project as it exists today—an initiative aimed at showcasing the full extent of Piedmont's wine heritage, going beyond individual territorial excellences to bring together all of the region's more than 60 appellations. After the remarkable success of the last event, we are dedicated to further strengthening this pathway by increasing the number of wineries involved and confirming Grandi Langhe as a benchmark event for Piedmontese wine," stated Monchiero.
