The Wine & Taranta Fest in Teora, in the province of Avellino, is one of the most eagerly awaited events of the Campania summer. For three consecutive days, from July 10-12, 2026, this charming Irpinian village transforms into an extraordinary food and wine experience where tradition and conviviality meet in the main streets of the historic center. The event represents a fascinating multisensory journey that combines the excellence of local wines with the authentic flavors of Campania cuisine. Visitors can taste prestigious wines directly from local wineries and wine producers of the Irpinia territory, accompanied by DOP and IGP products, creations by qualified chefs, and tasting menus curated by illustrious guests of Italian cuisine. Beyond the gastronomic component, the cultural and musical aspects shine brightly: local artisans display their creative works in historic shops, while live music enlivens the evenings with authentic Salentine tarantelle and contemporary reinterpretations. Performances range from traditional taranta to young musicians who reread tradition in a modern key. Three unforgettable days where the sound of tambourines, the clinking of glasses, and the festive atmosphere of the Irpinian people create an immersive experience that continues late into the night. An unmissable opportunity to discover the gastronomic and cultural identity of inner Campania, with free tastings in the main square and free access to all musical performances. Schedule: Friday July 10, 7pm-11pm (official opening and opening concerts), Saturday July 11, 6pm-midnight (central day with food and wine masterclasses), Sunday July 12, 5pm-11pm (closing evening with grand popular celebration).
