August Torgianese - The Vinarelli
When painters paint with wine
About The Vinarelli
A month of celebration in the wine village
The Agosto Torgianese is the major summer event that enlivens the historic center of Torgiano throughout the month. This town in the province of Perugia is known throughout Italy for its wine and the famous Wine Museum. Every evening, the village fills with art, music, shows, and typical cuisine, in a convivial atmosphere that draws visitors from all over Umbria.
The Vinarelli: art painted with wine
The heart of the festival is the Vinarelli evening, an event that has been running for decades and has no equal. As the organizers explain, it is not a competition or an open-air painting session: Torgiano's artist friends dilute the colors of their paintings with wine, transforming the village streets into an open-air studio. The works created are then donated to the organization, which sells them, allocating the proceeds to socio-artistic-cultural interventions.
Art, territory, and wine tradition
The Vinarelli perfectly embody Torgiano's identity, where art, territory, and wine tradition merge. The event is promoted by the Pro Loco of Torgiano together with the municipal administration, and over the years it has become a symbol of the town's creativity.
The Vinarelli — edition 2026
The 2026 edition of Agosto Torgianese confirms the formula that makes the entire month of August a major event in the historic center of Torgiano: every evening, art, music, shows, and typical cuisine bring the village streets to life. The highlight remains the Vinarelli evening, when Torgiano's artist friends transform the squares into an open-air studio by painting with wine. The artworks are donated to the organization and sold to support socio-artistic-cultural initiatives in the area.
Programme The Vinarelli 2026
The 2026 Agosto Torgianese unfolds throughout the month with evenings of art, music, shows, and gastronomy in the historic center. The detailed schedule of individual evenings and the exact date of the Vinarelli evening will be announced by the Pro Loco of Torgiano on their official channels and on the website vinarelli.it closer to the event. In recent years, the Vinarelli evening has typically taken place in the second half of the month.
