From the preview in Torgiano to Orvieto, eleven Umbrian municipalities open their doors for the great summer festival dedicated to wine and its territories.

When summer takes on the warm colours of sunset over the Umbrian hills, wine ceases to be merely a drink and becomes the protagonist of a story woven from landscape, history and conviviality. This is the spirit of Le Notti del Vino, the summer festival promoted by the National Association of Wine Cities, which this year once again will bring to life the villages, wineries and squares of the entire region — from the green Umbria of Lake Trasimeno to the tufa towers of Orvieto.

With eleven of the thirteen Umbrian member municipalities taking part, the 2026 edition confirms itself as a resounding success in terms of participation. Regional coordinator Avelio Burini speaks of a record response, echoing the words of national president Angelo Radica, who highlighted how Umbria is reaching almost the full complement of its wine cities. The programme unfolds between 21 June and 23 September, offering wine tourists a rich calendar of guided tastings, conferences, musical performances, art exhibitions and walks through landscapes that have been devoted to viticulture since time immemorial.

“Wine is our experience through which the storytelling of wineries takes shape: a privileged destination for slow tourism, focused on product quality and the harmonisation of the five senses within the Umbrian landscape.” — Simona Meloni, Regional Tourism Councillor

The festival opens on Sunday 8 June — with the regional preview entrusted to Torgiano — in the evocative setting of the Brufa Sculpture Park. The event, entitled Torgiano a mano libera (Torgiano Freehand), offers a guided tasting of the area’s signature wines led by journalist Jacopo Cossater, with art, live music, in-depth sessions with sommeliers and food areas curated by the Brufa Pro Loco. A foretaste of what will follow throughout the entire summer season.

The festival is threaded through by a clear guiding theme: wine culture understood in its broadest sense. Sustainability, conscious consumption, the valorisation of the rural landscape as a shared heritage, the safeguarding of local traditions. Drinking well, with attention and respect — a message that pairs naturally with the philosophy of RicetteUmbre.com and with our idea of cuisine deeply rooted in its territory.

Full Calendar – Summer 2026

Among the events particularly worth highlighting is the one in Trevi, where alongside tastings along the streets of the historic centre — with more than twenty wineries present — a conference on vin santo will be held, together with two show cooking events involving young people with disabilities as part of a social farming project: an example of how wine can be an instrument of inclusion as well as pleasure.

The August event in Giano dell’Umbria promises to be a true immersion in peasant memory: the evening entitled Gusti antichi e mani sapienti (Ancient Tastes and Skilled Hands) aims to interweave culture, oral tradition and authentic flavours, with wine as the thread connecting generations — very close to the heart of this site.

For updates on times and details of individual events, we recommend following the official channels of the National Association of Wine Cities and of the individual municipalities. The website cittadelvino.it gathers all up-to-date information. The team at RicetteUmbre.com will be present at several stages of the festival — stay tuned.

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.

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