Sagra dell'Uva (Grape Festival)

The Sagra dell'Uva returns to Casalini, a charming hamlet of Cisternino in the province of Brindisi, to celebrate its 38th edition on August 29 and 30, 2026. This festive weekend honors authenticity, joy, and the traditional flavors of rural heritage. It offers a wonderful opportunity to immerse yourself in the natural rhythms of these revitalizing landscapes and relive the grape harvest tradition, a time when farming communities historically came together to celebrate their hard work in the fields. The highlight of the festival is the parade of allegorical floats, beautifully decorated with grapevine shoots to reenact the grape harvest and traditional farming practices. Visitors can enjoy a rich program of entertainment, including live concerts, dancing evenings, and lively festivities. Food and wine lovers won't be disappointed, as dedicated stands will serve delicious local specialties in a warm, convivial atmosphere.
