From September 23rd to 29th, the Amalfi Coast will host the first edition of "Amalfi Coast Cocktail Week." This event is organized by Paola Mencarelli, with the patronage of the Municipality of Ravello and the Amalfi Coast Tourism District, and will feature the region's best cocktail bars and hotel bars. Aiming to promote signature mixology and spread the culture of mindful and responsible drinking, the event promises to be an unmissable event for cocktail enthusiasts.
A Quality Itinerary
The event will unfold among the nine main towns of the Amalfi Coast: Vietri sul Mare, Cetara, Maiori, Minori, Ravello, Amalfi, Furore, Praiano and Positano. With a program full of events, masterclasses, aperitifs, pop-up bars and guest shifts with nationally and internationally renowned guests, the event offers seven days of pure magic and discovery of local flavors. Each Cocktail Bar and Hotel Bar will offer an exclusive drink list, with unique creations ranging from the “Signature Cocktail” to drinks dedicated to Made in Italy and Campania raw materials.
Events and Special Initiatives
Amalfi Coast Cocktail Week is not just an opportunity to enjoy quality drinks. The event also includes cultural and recreational initiatives designed to engage a wider audience. Among the activities planned are “Dining with the Spirits,” “Pizza with the Spirits,” and “Pastry with the Spirits” that propose creative pairings of cocktails with traditional local gastronomic dishes.
The Role of Event Partners
Event Partners such as Hotel Bars, Cocktail Bars and other exclusive locations will play a crucial role during the event, hosting events without necessarily presenting the ACCW24 Cocktail List. These places will contribute to creating a unique and unforgettable atmosphere, enhancing the art of mixology even more.
A Rich and Varied Calendar
The calendar of events will unfold throughout the week, starting with an Opening Party at the Giardini del Fuenti in Vietri sul Mare. Subsequently, the event will move to Cetara, Maiori, Minori, Ravello, Amalfi, Furore, Praiano and Positano. Each location will be the protagonist of unique events, allowing participants to explore the wonders of the Amalfi Coast through an unprecedented tasting journey.
