Aperol returns to Coachella for its third year as the Official Spritz Partner, debuting a refreshed 'Aperol Spritz Piazza'—an Italian-inspired retreat located in the heart of general admission. This vibrant oasis invites festival-goers to relax, socialize, and toast with Italy’s iconic aperitivo cocktail.
To enhance the experience, each day features unique activations: day one includes a digital trivia challenge with exclusive prizes, day two offers bright, festival-ready makeovers inspired by Aperol’s energetic spirit, and day three unveils a picturesque Palm Springs-themed photo moment, perfect for capturing golden hour memories.
Meanwhile, Aperol’s presence extends beyond the Piazza. From the 'Aperol Ape' in VIP to spritzes at the Safari Campgrounds’ communal dining, Aperol offers immersivity by blending style, flavor, and spontaneity—bringing the essence of aperitivo culture to every corner of the festival.
