Borgo diVino in tour - Aquino Stop

Borgo diVino in tour in Aquino

Borgo diVino in tour is the traveling food and wine festival that crosses Italy every year, bringing quality wine to the most picturesque villages in the country. In Aquino, in the province of Frosinone, the event brings the historic center to life for a weekend in September, turning the medieval village streets into a path of tastings, flavors, and folk music.

A journey through the cellars

The heart of the event is the tasting trail that winds through the village streets: cellars, set up by wine producers and retailers, open their doors to visitors who, glass in hand, can discover local labels and wines from other Italian regions. Each stop is an opportunity to learn about the winemakers' craft and pair wines with the dishes offered along the way.

Ciociaria cuisine takes center stage

Alongside the wine, the real star is the gastronomy of Ciociaria. In the 2025 edition, the village hosted 36 food stalls, opening from 6:00 PM, where visitors could enjoy typical local peasant dishes: homemade pasta, cured meats, cheeses, and specialties from the Frosinone area. A journey into the authentic flavors of southern Lazio, designed to complement the wine tastings.

Music and village atmosphere

Framing the tastings is the traditional Ciociaria folk music, which accompanies visitors through the alleys of the historic center. The atmosphere is that of a convivial and genuine village festival, where the historical heritage of the town intertwines with the flavors of the land and social life.

Aquino, a medieval village in Ciociaria

Aquino is a small town in the province of Frosinone, in Lazio, with a rich historical past: once an important city in Roman times, it preserves medieval landmarks that serve as a natural backdrop for the event. The history of the village, the flavors of the land, and the folk music are the ingredients that make this stop a cherished event for the community and visitors from neighboring towns.

Organization

The event is promoted and organized locally by the Municipality of Aquino and the Pro Loco of Aquino, who manage the setup of the stalls and the evening programs. The event is part of the tradition of food and wine festivals in the Ciociaria area, an opportunity to showcase local excellence and experience the historic center of Aquino in a festive atmosphere.
