Sagra del Vino e della Ciambella

The Sagra del Vino e della Ciambella in Castel Guelfo di Bologna is an unmissable event for lovers of fine wine and Emilian gastronomic traditions. Held over the last weekend of June, this festival offers a unique opportunity to discover the region's finest wines through tastings presented directly by the most prestigious local wineries. Each glass of wine is paired with the celebrated local ciambella—a ring-shaped cake prepared according to a recipe handed down for over seven hundred years, representing an invaluable culinary heritage. Yet this is far more than a gastronomic celebration: over three days, Piazzale Dante Alighieri and the surrounding streets transform into a vibrant cultural space where art, heritage, and tradition blend harmoniously. Art exhibitions, conferences, vintage car displays, colourful market stalls, and educational workshops for children and adults animate every corner of the festival, offering entertainment for the whole family. The experience is completed by live music performances that accompany the evenings, creating the perfect atmosphere to savour wine, enjoy ciambella, and immerse yourself in the beauty of Bolognese culture. An event that celebrates local identity through the shared pleasure of food and community.
