Wine Tasting Kesä 2025 will take place in Helsinki, Finland, during the height of summer. The event runs from June 27 to 29, 2025, and unfolds at the scenic Kaivopuisto Park, one of the city’s oldest and most elegant green spaces by the Baltic Sea. The organizer, KesäWines Events, brings together the region’s top sommeliers, importers, and producers. Nearby, guests can explore historic landmarks like the Suomenlinna Sea Fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the Esplanadi Boulevard, lined with 19th-century architecture and boutique cafés. This stylish open-air festival offers a perfect balance of business and leisure in the heart of Nordic summer.

The first edition of Wine Tasting Kesä took place in 2021 as a boutique event designed for wine professionals and premium producers. Since then, the festival has grown steadily and gained recognition as one of Finland’s leading wine showcases. Each year, it features over 150 curated labels, from boutique European wineries to New World innovators. Moreover, the event includes thematic tastings, masterclasses, and business networking sessions. Importers and distributors use the event to discover new labels, deepen partnerships, and monitor trends in the Nordic wine scene. With live jazz performances and food pairings by Helsinki’s top chefs, the festival creates an atmosphere that enhances every tasting moment.

For wine producers and distributors, Wine Tasting Kesä provides unique access to Finland’s wine market, known for its quality focus and growing sophistication. Carefully selected trade visitors from hospitality, retail, and media attend the event. Scheduled meetings, guided tastings, and B2B lounges allow for meaningful conversations and commercial impact. Additionally, the Nordic summer ambiance, long daylight hours, and elegant outdoor setup make this event stand out among European tastings.
