Eataly Wine Festival 2026

Eataly is hosting its Italian wine festival on Thursday 29 and Friday 30 October, two evenings of walk-around tastings on the first floor of their Bishopsgate store. It's a simple enough setup: producers from across Italy bring their wines over to London, and you spend the night moving between them. You get a map to help you navigate, and from there you can work your way through reds, whites and sparkling wines from different regions, tasting as you go.

Each person gets a wine glass and an Eataly pouch to take home. The tastings work on a token system: a standard 75ml pour costs one token, while the premium ones take two. You buy your tokens in bundles in advance: five for £30, seven for £40, ten for £50, or twelve for £60. If you run out on the night, single tokens are available for £5 each. There's no food included in the ticket, but you can pick up whatever you fancy from the store separately.

Both nights run from 5 pm to 10 pm, with last entry at 9 pm, so you've got a good five-hour window to work through your tokens. Tickets are non-refundable, though you can transfer yours to another name or a different session if your plans change. Online sales close two hours before each day begins, so if you're planning to go, it's worth sorting your tickets a bit ahead of time.

Eataly is at 135 Bishopsgate, London EC2M 3YD.
