Verona will be home to Italy's largest wine museum and tourist destination.

The largest wine museum in Italy will open in Verona

Located in Veneto, a northeastern region known for producing some of the highest quality wines in country, the Museo del Vino (or MuVin for short) was announced at the international wine competition Vinitaly last month. Museum creator Enrico Corsi says he came up with the idea while on a trip to Edinburgh, Scotland, where he visited a Scotch whiskey exhibit. Corsi plans to launch the MuVin project, which aims to be a one-stop shop for everything wine-related. The complex will host wine tastings and educational activities, as well as an experimental trail spanning over 62,000 square feet and introducing visitors to the history of wine, the culture associated with wine, and production. MuVin also offers virtual visits to the complex where people can learn proper wine tasting techniques as well as take a (virtual) visit to Italian wineries in the region. The MuVin project will be located in the Mercatali Gallery in Verona, in the city's exhibition district. The MuVin Museum is scheduled to be completed by the winter of 2026, when Italy will host the Winter Olympics.
