The Puglia Wine Festival – Festa del Vino e dei Sapori di Puglia returns for its seventh edition, enlivening Largo Porta Grande and the historic center of Castellana Grotte on Saturday, October 24, and Sunday, October 25, 2026. Organized by the APS SensAzioni del Sud with artistic direction by Core Live Show, the event offers an itinerary entirely dedicated to the finest wine and gastronomic delights of Apulia.
