Aperitivo Festival returns from 15 to 17 May and is being held for the first time in the Milano Certosa District

For three days, from 5.30 pm to 10.30 pm, the district will be transformed into a sprawling hub dedicated to aperitifs, featuring iconic venues, tastings, events and entertainment

04, May 2026

There is one moment in the day that, more than any other, encapsulates contemporary Italian identity: the aperitivo, a social, cultural and economic ritual that continues to evolve, reflecting new lifestyles and consumer habits. It is from this that the Aperitivo Festival, scheduled for 15–17 May, sets out once more; for its fourth edition, it has chosen a new home, the Milano Certosa District, a symbol of a city in transformation.

For three days, from 5.30 pm to 10.30 pm, the district — situated in the north-west of Milan and at the heart of a major urban regeneration project promoted by RealStep — will be transformed into a sprawling hub dedicated to the aperitif, featuring iconic venues, tastings, content and entertainment.

An immersive journey brought to life through over 20 tasting experiences and 15 stations dedicated to food & beverage pairings, spread across some of the District’s most iconic locations: from Department 184 to Nomad — which will host the after-parties — to Pennellificio and La Forgiatura. Not just tastings, but also training and culture: with Aperitivo Academy, the festival expands its offering by providing sessions dedicated to industry professionals, covering techniques, trends and new approaches to mixology and pairing.
