Sagra dell’uva

The Sagra dell'Uva of Rutigliano returns on October 4-5, 2026 to celebrate one of Puglia's most precious fruits: table grapes. This event, among the region's most long-standing and beloved celebrations, represents far more than a simple food and wine festival. It is a moment of collective sharing that places local productive excellence and the crucial role this fruit plays in the economy of southeastern Bari at its heart—particularly significant during a challenging period for the agricultural sector. Two intense days dedicated to discovering and promoting table grapes, transforming the streets and piazzas of Rutigliano's historic center into a stage where tradition, culture, and gastronomy coexist harmoniously. Visitors can participate in experiential tours and guided tastings, fully immersing themselves in the local production landscape and uncovering the secrets of a cultivation that represents a true jewel of the territory. Among the festival's highlights are musical performances featuring nationally renowned guests, engaging sporting events, and the celebrated Giant Bunch competition, which captures the enthusiasm of audiences and participants with spectacular entertainment. Educational workshops on viticulture, sensory paths through local grape varieties, and gastronomic stands serving traditional grape-based dishes will not be lacking. An unmissable opportunity to taste authentic Puglian flavors, purchase directly from local producers, support the territorial economy, and be won over by the passion and commitment of a community that firmly believes in the quality of its fruits.
