This festival stems from a desire to revive an event that used to be a joyful occasion for our community – a celebration to give thanks for the grape harvest and prepare the grapes for turning into wine.

Don’t miss this chance to rediscover the ancient traditions and flavours of yesteryear: let the aroma of superb, high-quality wine from prestigious wineries across Italy guide you through the village streets.
Local restaurateurs will be serving up their culinary specialities.
You’ll be able to sing traditional folk songs, try your hand at the ancient tradition of treading grapes barefoot, admire traditional crafts and take part in the traditional procession in peasant costume.

There’ll be attractions for young and old alike, at a festival designed to introduce everyone to ancient customs and traditions.

Over the weekend, you can experience all this first-hand, with songs and dances from the folk repertoire, tastings of traditional dishes featuring grapes and autumn fruits, wines from the region’s finest wineries, and reflections on what the future might hold for our food and wine culture.

You can also visit the village’s historic wine cellars, reopened for the occasion, rediscover the ancient crafts of yesteryear and the wine-making process using traditional tools, play traditional games and stroll amongst the market stalls.
