Among the vineyards of Liguria's hinterland, in the heart of Casarza Ligure, an event returns that captures the essence of the territory: the Festa del Vino di Verici. This annual celebration is far more than a simple wine tasting; it represents a tribute to rural roots and the gastronomic heritage that defines Liguria, where viticulture has deep origins spanning centuries of knowledge passed down through generations. Verici, a small hillside village in Casarza Ligure in the province of Genoa, is the beating heart of this festival. A place where time flows to the rhythm of agricultural cycles and where families of winemakers still preserve the techniques and native grape varieties that make Ligurian wines truly unique. Visitors will find a rich and authentic offering: local wines take centre stage, accompanied by specialities of Ligurian cuisine presented at gastronomic stalls. Every dish tells a story of territory and tradition, with genuine flavours that awaken the palate of those who appreciate quality ingredients and passion in food preparation. You can savour pansotti with ragù, Genoese pesto trofie, stuffed anchovies and cheese focaccia, all paired with the renowned wines of the region. Beyond gastronomic delights, the festival comes alive with traditional Ligurian music, cultural performances and moments of conviviality that transform the event into an unforgettable community experience. The simple and welcoming atmosphere that characterises the event invites both residents and tourists to share a day celebrating taste, local culture and genuine Ligurian hospitality. **Practical Information** Date and times: 29-30 May 2026 | Saturday 10:00-23:00 | Sunday 10:00-22:00 Location: Verici Main Square, Casarza Ligure (GE) Admission: Free (tastings available for purchase) Parking: Available nearby Accessibility: Fully accessible area
