Borgo diVino in Tour in Cisternino

Borgo diVino in Tour is the traveling food and wine festival promoted by the I Borghi più belli d'Italia association and organized by Valica S.p.A. In 2026, the tour crosses the Italian peninsula with twenty-five stops in the country's most evocative historic centers. Cisternino, a jewel of the Itria Valley in the Province of Brindisi, hosts the event for the sixth consecutive year: from July 3rd to 5th, 2026, this Apulian village becomes one of the most anticipated destinations on the national calendar.

A village transformed into an open-air winery

For three evenings, the historic center of the Municipality of Cisternino, with its whitewashed alleys, courtyards, and small squares, turns into a grand tasting circuit. The exhibition area winds through Via San Quirico, Via Manzoni, Corso Umberto, and Piazza Marconi, in a space with completely free admission. While strolling among the stands, visitors can discover over one hundred labels offered by about forty wineries.

Wines for tasting

The stars of the show are naturally the great wines of Puglia and the Itria Valley: Locorotondo DOP, Martina Franca DOC, and Cisternino and Ostuni DOC wines. Alongside local labels, the event brings a national selection to Cisternino with producers from Piedmont, Veneto, Tuscany, Lazio, Abruzzo, Molise, Basilicata, Calabria, and the Marche, offering a journey through the best of Italian oenology.

  • Tasting voucher: 20 euros for eight tastings of your choice
  • Kit included with a branded glass and a glass-holder pouch
  • Hours: from 7:00 PM to 1:00 AM all three evenings

Gastronomy and live music

Next to the wine area, a gastronomic section offers traditional Apulian specialties: bombette, orecchiette, panzerotti, fava beans with chicory, and typical products from the most beautiful villages in Italy. Every evening, the alleys come alive with live music, with concerts ranging from swing to Italian singer-songwriter performances, accompanying your food and wine stroll in a festive atmosphere until late at night.

Why visit

Borgo diVino in Tour is much more than a wine fair: it is an opportunity to discover Cisternino and the Itria Valley, the landscape of trulli and ancient olive trees, combining Apulian oenological excellence with the hospitality of one of the most fascinating villages in Southern Italy. A free event, suitable for couples, friends, and enthusiasts, which enhances the territory of the Municipality of Cisternino and the entire Puglia region.
