FIZZY FEST: THE UK'S FIRST PROSECCO SUPERIORE FESTIVAL

This July, Marlow will host the UK’s very first festival dedicated to Prosecco Superiore D.O.C.G., the premium sparkling wine from Italy’s UNESCO-listed Conegliano Valdobbiadene region. Taking place on 18th and 19th July 2025, Fizzy Fest brings together top Italian producers, thousands of bottles of exceptional wine, artisan food pairings, live music, and expert-led masterclasses — all in a stylish, sociable setting at the heart of Buckinghamshire.

Real Prosecco. Real Discovery. Real Joy.

This isn’t the Prosecco you might be used to. Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore D.O.C.G. is the pinnacle of Italian sparkling wine — a world away from mass-produced bottles. These wines are made using charmat method, from hand-harvested Glera grapes grown on steep hillside vineyards, with lower yields per hectare and a longer second fermentation. The result? Finer bubbles, balanced flavour, and none of the synthetic sweetness often associated with commercial fizz.

Each bottle is traceable to the vine it came from, thanks to the numbered D.O.C.G. seal — a mark of true Italian craftsmanship and quality.

The Vision Behind the Festival

The festival is the brainchild of Kristyna Weston, founder of Fizzy Happiness and La Dolce Bolla, Marlow’s award-winning Prosecco and wine bar. After years of living, working, and travelling in Italy, Kristyna was determined to bring the authentic taste of premium Prosecco to the UK — and to challenge the perceptions that come with it.

She launched Fizzy Happiness to import and distribute wines from small, family-run producers, followed by the opening of La Dolce Bolla in 2024. Just one year later, she’s inviting wine lovers and curious fizz-drinkers alike to experience the very best Prosecco has to offer — right here in Marlow.
