Festa dell'Uva e del Vino (Grape and Wine Festival)

In the heart of Tuscany, the ancient Etruscan town of Chiusi, which overlooks the Val di Chiana, is preparing to celebrate one of its most anticipated events of the year: the Festa dell'Uva e del Vino. For three days, from September 26 to 28, 2026, the historic center transforms into a vast open-air wine bar, where the region's winemaking tradition meets a contemporary passion for the good life. Tasting tables, pop-up wine bars, and gourmet stalls dot the medieval streets, offering visitors the chance to sample the territory's finest wines paired with authentic Tuscan cuisine. Chiusi has always been one of Italy's capitals of viticulture: Chianti and Nobile di Montepulciano are just some of the exceptional wines that find their natural home here. During the festival, you can delve deeper into this richness through guided cellar visits and fascinating vineyard tours, to understand how the magic that transforms grapes into wine is created. Live music and traveling performances accompany visitors along a journey that is both gastronomic and cultural. But the Festa dell'Uva e del Vino also looks toward the future of Italian viticulture and wine gastronomy. Exhibitions dedicated to wine art and photography enrich the program, allowing you to discover new ways of telling and representing this ancient tradition. In Chiusi, September ignites the colors of gold and red: it is the moment when the territory tells its story with taste and passion.
