Wine Love Weekend 2026: Three days of wine, food and music in the heart of Umbria

From 5 to 7 June 2026, Terni will become the wine capital of Umbria with the third edition of the Wine Love Weekend. An unmissable event for all food and wine enthusiasts.

If you love Umbrian wine, if you’re curious to discover small producers and rare bottles, or if you simply want to enjoy a different kind of weekend filled with authentic flavours, music and culture, the Wine Love Weekend is the event for you. From 5 to 7 June 2026, Terni — the romantic city of St Valentine — opens its doors and dresses up to welcome wine lovers, industry professionals and curious visitors alike for three days of pure wine-tasting delight.

The event

Now in its third year, this event reaffirms its successful format: three days of tastings, talks, masterclasses and concerts that bring the Campagna Amica Covered Market in Largo Manni and the city’s historic centre to life. Historic streets and buildings are transformed into themed ‘Wine Districts’, where visitors can discover the latest trends in the Umbrian wine sector and beyond.

The aim is to tell the story of wine in a contemporary way, bringing together consumers and producers, tradition and innovation, local character and creativity.

The programme at a glance

L’evento si articola su tre location principali e altrettanti formati:

Wine Districts and Tastings (5–6 June, Campagna Amica Covered Market, Largo Manni) is the beating heart of the event. Here you can meet over 40 producers, sample hundreds of wines and take part in food and wine tastings led by sommelier Roberto Lombardini. Daily admission is €20, with the option of a guided tasting for €25 (or €30 including entry to the wineries).

Wine Love City (5–7 June, Piazza della Repubblica) brings wine straight to the square, with tastings led by sommeliers, food pairings featuring local produce, gourmet pizza by master pizza chef Enrico Bigotti, and a Legurì-branded aperitif with a selection of cheeses, cured meats and sparkling wines.

Calici sotto le stelle (7 June, Piazza Tacito) brings the event to a close in style: on Sunday evening, guests raise a glass under the Terni sky for a romantic and atmospheric finale.

Among this weekend’s events are Giovanni Castaldi’s cooking show
and the second theatre tour exploring the places associated with Luisa Spagnoli

Mother’s Day is fast approaching and the City of Chocolate is getting ready to celebrate one of the sweetest occasions of the year. To mark the occasion, on Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 May, the ‘Mamma extra fondente, sweetness without limits!’ promotion will be running, offering free entry for all mums along with a delicious chocolate treat.

A special day to say “thank you, Mum” whilst strolling through a charming, faithfully recreated cocoa forest and trying your hand at engaging experiences to discover the much-loved Food of the Gods. There are plenty of activities to create joyful memories in the evocative setting of the largest experiential museum dedicated to cocoa and chocolate: from the Bean to Bar Factory to the ChocoLab, via the PiantaLab and the Diversity Testings, where you can discover, through the five senses, the history and characteristics of the world’s finest cocoa. The promotion is valid only for tickets purchased at the ticket office.

Furthermore, on 10 May, from 11am to 12pm, the City of Chocolate will host Giovanni Castaldi, food creator and face of GialloZafferano, for an exclusive cooking show dedicated to those who love experimenting with original combinations of cuisine, creativity and chocolate. The event, for which booking is essential on 3783093537, takes place at the LAB – Luisa Annibale Base, one of the key locations where Perugia’s chocolate history has its roots.

A further focus on one of the most enterprising and brilliant women in the world of chocolate – and beyond – was therefore a must: “Luisa fu Sargentini Spagnoli”. This is the title of the walking tour organised in collaboration with Teatro di Sacco, which has crafted an engaging narrative around the fascinating figure of Luisa Spagnoli: a journey through theatre, the city and memory, exploring the places – in the historic centre of Perugia – linked to Luisa Spagnoli’s eventful life.

Following the success of the first event, a second tour is scheduled for Saturday 9 May at 5 pm, starting from Via Alessi 23, the site of the first Perugina workshop. The tour will then proceed to Corso Cavour, where her sister-in-law ran a dressmaking shop and where, at the Sala Cutu, an exclusive close encounter between the protagonist and the audience will take place. The script for this original theatrical tour is by Fiorenza Mosci, performed by Roberto Biselli and Angela Pellicciari.
