Meet the Author and the Wine 2025

Each summer, the cultural association “Lignano in the Third Millennium” hosts a series of literary evenings at the Pala Pineta, in the Parco del Mare, right in the heart of Lignano Pineta.

After the book presentation and audience interaction, a wine expert or sommelier will introduce a regional wine selected specifically for the evening. This will be followed by a wine tasting open to all attendees.

The Meet the Author events will take place every Thursday from June 12 to September 4, 2025.

The initiative begins at 6:30 PM and aims to respond to the growing cultural interest shown by tourists in recent years, offering a public meeting space with writers and authors.
