Cantine Aperte in Abruzzo is back with a bang in 2026 when the best of Abruzzo’s cantine and wineries fling open their doors

One of Abruzzo’s Città del Vino (wine cities), Fossacesia, recently held its second annual festa for their revived autumn wine celebrations that had last been held twenty years ago.

This agricultural weekender is a fair organised by the Comune of Alanno and Agricultural organisations. Expect lots of tractors food, and local artisans showing off their skills, like basketmakers, beekeepers with their honey, wine etc. A bit different from the standard festa as it is more of an exhibition of the diverse set of agricultural activities that happens in the locality.
