From October 23 to 25, 2026, the historic center of Montalcino hosts the 68th edition of the Sagra del Tordo, one of the most deeply rooted historical events in the Siena territory, first celebrated on November 16, 1958. The festival lineup blends local heritage with authentic cuisine: the village streets come alive with medieval costume parades, folk dances by the Trescone troupe, and the traditional archery tournament between the Montalcino districts. On Saturday and throughout Sunday, food and wine stands run by the Four Districts open beneath the Fortress walls, offering tastings of traditional Montalcino specialties, for which reservations are recommended.
