Sagra dell’uva di San Cesareo

The Sagra dell'Uva di San Cesareo is an unmissable opportunity to celebrate the arrival of autumn and the richness of harvests from the Roman countryside. This traditional event, held from September 26-28, transforms the village into a magnificent open-air gathering where grapes take center stage in all their forms: from fresh table grapes to the prestigious wines of Castelli Romani, to rustic sweets and grape mustards that capture the flavors of the year just past. With deep roots in local history, the festival has been a cornerstone of San Cesareo's celebration calendar for decades, reinforcing the community's bond with the territory's winemaking traditions and celebrating agriculture's importance in Lazio culture. Beyond gastronomy, the festival keeps popular traditions alive with a rich program of attractions: allegorical floats decorated with grape clusters, folk performances, and live music animating the village streets throughout all three days. Food stands offer the most authentic dishes from Lazio's culinary tradition: fettuccine with ragù, lamb alla scottadito, porchetta, polenta with sausage—all naturally accompanied by the finest local wines. This festival perfectly embodies the spirit of village celebrations: a gathering place where the community comes together to share the fruits of the earth, renew cultural roots, and pass down to new generations the love for authentic flavors and traditions that define rural Lazio.
