Now in its fourth edition, the Lecce Cocktail Week has become something hard to put into words. It’s not just a week of cocktails: it’s the moment when more than 30 venues across the city build dedicated menus, host bartenders from all over Europe, and open their doors to masterclasses, multi-chef dinners and nights that start in one place and end up somewhere else entirely.

From 6 to 14 June 2026, the programme moves through the Ex Convento degli Agostiniani, the beaches of Porto Selvaggio and Torre dell’Orso, the rooftops and courtyards of the historic centre. International spirits, local food, music — and for the first time this year, a no and low alcohol option at every venue on opening night.
