Alta Campania Wine Fest

A festival dedicated to the wines of Alta Campania

The Alta Campania Wine Fest is a vibrant food and wine event held in Castel Campagnano, a small town in the province of Caserta, Campania. Hosted in the scenic Parco Comunale La Peschiera, the event was created to highlight a vast and unique territory that has often remained off the main wine circuits: the Upper Caserta region and its four viticultural areas, Roccamonfina, Massico, Matese, and the Monti Trebulani-Tifatini.

Local wineries and grape varieties

The heart of the festival lies in the tasting tables of local wineries, which offer the public over ninety different labels. The absolute stars are the indigenous grape varieties that make this corner of Campania unique: Casavecchia, Pallagrello Nero, and Pallagrello Bianco, ancient grapes rediscovered and promoted over the last few decades. The festival brings together wineries from eight municipalities in the area—Pontelatone, Castel Campagnano, Caiazzo, Piana di Monte Verna, Formicola, Liberi, Castel di Sasso, and Ruviano—all involved in a collective effort to map and valorize the territory.

More than just wine: food, culture, and music

Alongside the tasting stands, the festival features a food truck area with gourmet street food designed to pair perfectly with the wines, as well as masterclasses, talks, and meetings with producers, journalists, and guests from the food and wine world. There are also cocktail bars, DJ sets, and musical performances that keep the atmosphere lively until late at night, creating an experience that blends tasting, social connection, and cultural insight.

A community project

The Alta Campania Wine Fest is promoted by the Asso Alta Campania association, which brings together young local producers united by the desire to authentically share the bond between wine, local communities, and the landscape. More than just a fair, the event aims to be a tool for regional promotion and growth for an emerging wine area, fostering dialogue between companies, institutions, and enthusiasts. For the Municipality of Castel Campagnano and the entire province of Caserta, it represents a valuable opportunity for visibility and wine tourism.
