The Patronal Festival of Vigliano d'Asti is the traditional summer highlight of this charming Piedmontese village, hosted by Pro Loco Vigliano d'Asti APS at the G.B. Conti Municipal Sports Center. The event brings together community and religious traditions, including Holy Mass followed by an aperitif on the church square, alongside family-friendly activities like the 'Bimbi in gioco' afternoon of entertainment. The festival schedule embraces the outdoors with the non-competitive footrace 'Correndo per Vigliano' (Daniele Torchio Memorial) and the scenic recreational walk 'Alla scoperta delle balene' (Discovering Whales), which winds through picturesque hills, lush woods, and rolling vineyards. Food and wine take center stage with themed culinary evenings, ranging from the famous traditional Piedmontese Gran Fritto Misto to handmade agnolotti and regional classics, as well as seafood nights featuring crispy fried fish and fresh appetizers. Every dish is paired with wines from local producers and accompanied by live orchestras and DJ sets.
