Bavinum

An evening of wine and taste at Villa Fedora

Bavinum is one of the most beloved events of the Baveno summer: an evening dedicated to wine, local flavours and music, held in the picturesque park of Villa Fedora, overlooking Lake Maggiore in Baveno, in the province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola (Piedmont). With a tasting glass in hand, visitors stroll among the exhibitors' stalls, discovering labels from Upper Piedmont and local gastronomic excellence in a relaxed and convivial atmosphere.

Wines and local products

The heart of the event lies in the wine tastings and samples of typical products. The festival showcases wineries from the Novara area and Upper Piedmont, with producers such as Edoardo Patrone, Paride Chiovini and La Piemontina offering sparkling, white and red wines from the Colline Novaresi. Alongside the wine, food stalls offer traditional flavours, creating a culinary journey that highlights the gastronomic excellence of the Lake Maggiore area.

Live music and After Bavinum

The evening is punctuated by live music, which accompanies the tastings. For those who want to extend the party, the After Bavinum features a live DJ set that keeps the park buzzing until late at night, turning the food and wine aperitif into a true summer party on the lake.

An event by the City of Baveno

Bavinum is organised by the Department of Culture of the City of Baveno with the support of local associations and bodies. Over the years, it has become one of the key events in the municipal summer calendar, attracting both residents and tourists thanks to a formula that combines good wine, local products and music in one of the most beautiful historic villas on the lakefront.
