Cortina Cocktail Weekend starts today. The mixology festival returns to the snow with the best bartenders, tastings, parties, and the excellence of conscious drinking from Friday, March 22 to Sunday, March 24, 2024
The event, conceived and directed by Paola Mencarelli, under the Patronage of the Municipality of Cortina in collaboration with Cortina Marketing and the support of Cortina for Us and the Hoteliers Association, aims to promote Cortina d’Ampezzo as a tourist destination and vibrant cultural center, capable of attracting cocktail and mountain enthusiasts from all over the world, giving visibility to Cortina’s venues and the cultural, sporting, and entertainment offerings of the Pearl of the Dolomites.
