Ticino and Central Switzerland – July 27
Ticino is honoured by the attention paid to our canton by the Fête des Vignerons, who will welcome Ticino this year as a host of honour for the first time.
But the Confrérie is not simply paying tribute. It also entrusted the leading role to one of the Ticinese cultural ambassadors par excellence: Daniele Finzi Pasca. On July 27, an official delegation from the Ticino Turismo will visit the event. TicinoWine, an agency for wine sector promotion, will be presenting wine from Ticino, which this year has excelled in many competitions at the national and international levels. The canton of Ticino will be present with one of its “Maisons Ticino” and is primed to offer visitors a range of artistic, vinicultural, touristic and cultural specialities.

By institutional friendship and federalist spirit, Ticino has also decided to share its day with the cantons of Central Switzerland, the canton is an associate member of the Conference founded in 1966 by Lucerne, Uri, Schwyz, Obwalden, Nidwalden and Zug.
