Over the past eight years, the Giro del Vino has raised funds for a variety of non-profit organizations. This year, all the Giro del Vino IX proceeds will benefit the Congenital Hyperinsulinism International (CHI) which is a NJ-based organization with the global mission to improve the lives of people affected by congenital hyperinsulinism (HI), a rare disorder characterized by excessive insulin production, causing severe hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), that can lead to death or brain damage and disabilities if not identified in a timely manner and properly managed. Founded in 2005 by parents of children with hyperinsulinism, CHI pursues three core missions: providing support and advocacy to those affected by the condition and their families; raising awareness among patients, medical professionals, and the general public; and funding and contributing to research aimed at improving diagnostics, developing new treatments, and finding a cure.

The work CHI does improves thousands of lives, including the life of our daughter ... Forever grateful is an understatement, and that’s why we will always support the Sweetest Cause!” - Whitney, HI parent

For the year 2026, the Giro del Vino ride participation limit has been set at 350 riders. Register early before the event sells out!
