From the creators of Rosé Disco Wine Fest, Spaghetti Disco brings the spirit of Ferragosto — Italy's biggest summer celebration — to Grandview Park for a brand-new Italian wine, pasta, and disco festival. Over 1,000 guests are expected to spend six hours eating, drinking, and dancing under the sun, with a dress code of green, white, red, or Italian azure blue turning the whole park into a living Italian flag.
Four Restaurants, Exclusive Off-Menu Pastas
Four of Vancouver's most celebrated Italian restaurants — Nonna's Italian Street Food, Bar Corso, Livia, and Pax Romana — each serve an exclusive, off-menu pasta dish created specifically for the festival, alongside regional specialties from Italian fine food importers. Every guest receives four pasta tickets redeemable across the pop-ups, plus a custom reusable tasting plate with a built-in wine glass holder.
A Tour Through 10 Italian Wine Regions
The festival pours wines from ten of Italy's most iconic wine regions — Abruzzo, Veneto, Emilia-Romagna, Puglia, Friuli, Sicily, Le Marche, Sardegna, Piedmont, and Tuscany — with each pour telling its own story of region, grape, and character. As organizer Gez McAlpine puts it: "If it's not Italian, then it's not at Spaghetti Disco."
What to Expect
Birra Garden
Cold Italian beer and a couple of games of bocce ball in the sun.
