Delicata Wine Festival Kicks Off This Friday

If you’re visiting Malta this August, consider your weekend plans sorted! The 22nd Annual Delicata Classic Wine Festival is taking over the Upper Barrakka Gardens in Valletta from Friday, 8 August to Sunday, 10 August, 2025 and it’s an unmissable celebration of Maltese wine, food, and music.

Whether you’re a casual wine sipper or a full-on grape geek, this three-night wine fest promises vino magic under the stars. Best part? Admission is free!

Get ready to swirl and sip over 20 delicious wine labels from Malta’s premier winemaker. You’ll find fan favourites like Dolcino, the exclusive Falcon wines, and the fruity Casella Moscato, plus boutique beauties like DOK Malta Medina and Victoria Heights from Gozo.

Feeling fancy? Try the award-winning Gran Cavalier or the chic and bubbly SpritZZers. And if you opt for the €25 tasting experience, you’ll get a souvenir wine glass and 24 wine tokens to sample to your heart’s content.

Each evening kicks off with live performances from Malta’s hottest local acts:

  • Friday: Lara and the Jukeboys + Matthew James
  • Saturday: The Crowns + crowd-favourite Kurt Calleja
  • Sunday: Cash and Band + the epic Legends of Pop show featuring Glen Vella, Ludwig Galea, Michela Galea, and the Spiteri Lucas Band

Expect feel-good energy, throwback hits, and irresistible dance vibes all night long!

Pair your wine with mouthwatering Maltese and international cuisine from the island’s best chefs. Think fresh dishes by Corinthia Caterers, indulgent desserts from Busy Bee, and a pop-up Kannoli Bar that will keep your sweet tooth happy.
