WHAT IS THE FRANCIACORTA FESTIVAL?

The Festival is one of the most important events of the year in the Franciacorta wine-making area!
It takes place at the end of the summer season after the harvest.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

The Franciacorta Festival is the perfect celebration of wine, Italian lifestyle and the beauty of the region.
Held in September, just after the grape harvest, it brings wineries, vineyards and local venues to life.
Expect exclusive tastings, relaxed aperitifs, delicious food pairings and special events in unique settings.
It is an opportunity to enjoy Franciacorta at its best: great wines, beautiful landscapes and convivial moments.

Our shared tour from Milan lets you enjoy the Festival without worrying about transportation or winery reservations.
