Vespaiola er en grøn druesort primært dyrket i Vicenza-provinsen i Veneto, hvor den på grund af sit høje sukkerindhold især benyttes til bl.a. dessertvinen Breganze Torcolato DOC. Navnet er afledt af det italienske ord for hveps (vespa), idet druen er kendt for at tiltrække hvepse i hobetal. Druen benyttes dog også til den tørre hvidvin, Breganze Vespaiolo DOC.
