Vinodonia 2026: 10th Skopje Wine Salon at the Marriott
On November 13–14 the fair will present over 450 labels from 50 domestic and international wineries, plus workshops and live jazz.
The 10th edition of the Skopje wine fair, Vinodonia 2026, will take place on November 13 and 14 at the Skopje Marriott Hotel, assembling more than 450 wine labels from 50 Macedonian and international wineries. The two-day event promises tastings, expert-led workshops and live music.
Program and tastings
Organizers say the anniversary fair will present a wide spectrum of styles and aromas, pairing the richness of Macedonian vineyards with selections from France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Georgia, Montenegro, Hungary and other countries. Visitors will be able to taste both established labels and recently discovered bottlings and speak directly with producers.
Education is a prominent element of the programme: specialist workshops and themed talks will cover sparkling wines, the diversity of Pinot Grigio, Georgia’s deep wine traditions, the refinement of Spanish varieties and the potential of Macedonian Vranec. A session will also address medical findings and common myths about wine and health, led by domestic and international experts.
The anniversary will be accompanied by an evening music programme performed by Hot Jazz Orchestra, featuring Ivo Soldatović on clarinet, Bojan Petkov Shamba on jazz guitar, Filip Dinev on classical guitar and Penche Kralev on double bass, which organisers say will add an elegant soundtrack to the tastings.
Vinodonia has grown over a decade into a recognised meeting place for people who make and appreciate wine, dedicated to promotion of wine culture and direct contact between producers and the public. "We have been enjoying good wine for ten years, creating friendships and sharing beautiful moments. We invite everyone who has been part of our story, as well as wine lovers we have yet to meet, to celebrate this anniversary together," the organisers of Vinodonia 2026 said.
Practical details: Vinodonia runs on 13 and 14 November 2026 at the Skopje Marriott Hotel. Tickets are available through the event's official website; organisers recommend booking in advance due to limited capacity for workshops and evening sessions.
