Festa dell’uva e dei vini

On September 20-21, 2026, Velletri becomes the vibrant heart of Lazio's wine culture with the Festa dell'Uva e dei Vini. Nestled among the gentle hills of the Castelli Romani, this celebration honors the region's harvest traditions with a rich and engaging program deeply rooted in local history. Local wineries open their doors to visitors eager to discover the secrets behind the region's most prestigious wines: Malvasia, Trebbiano, and Cesanese guide a sensory journey accompanied by expert sommeliers. This event is far more than a simple tasting—it's a multisensory experience that embraces Velletri's entire medieval village. Period costumes parade through cobblestone streets, while artisanal cheeses, crispy porchetta, homemade bread, and traditional sweets showcase the richness of local gastronomy. Competitions between coopers, art exhibitions, and theatrical performances create an authentic festive atmosphere where conviviality reigns supreme. An unmissable appointment for anyone seeking to immerse themselves in Lazio's wine and food heritage, where wine is not merely a beverage but an expression of territorial identity and the passion of generations of growers and craftspeople.
