Festa del Vino (Wine Festival)

The 40th edition of the Festa del Vino in Forrottoli is an unmissable event for lovers of Tuscan gastronomy and local wines. This charming village nestled at the foot of Montalbano, a hamlet of Quarrata in the province of Pistoia, transforms every summer into a stage where culinary tradition and conviviality meet to create unforgettable evenings for visitors. For over 30 years, the festival has kept alive the essence of the territory's popular cuisine, offering authentic dishes prepared according to time-honored recipes. The festival menu is a true tribute to Tuscan gastronomic richness: each evening features a different daily special ranging from wild boar stew to tripe à la fiorentina, from lamb to fish cacciucco. Alongside the main courses, there are always bread soup, grilled meat, generous appetizers, and homemade desserts that perfectly crown each dinner. The wine selections naturally come from the finest local wineries, creating an ideal pairing between Tuscan dishes and wines. The festival takes place at the Circolo ARCI in Forrottoli, opening every evening at 8:00 PM, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Musical entertainment with piano bar and rotating artists completes the experience, transforming dinner into a moment of pure pleasure. Under the patronage of the city of Quarrata, this festival continues to be a reference point for those wishing to discover the authentic flavors of Tuscany in good company.
