Borgo diVino in Tour Egna

Borgo diVino in Tour in Egna/Neumarkt

Borgo diVino in Tour is the itinerant food and wine festival that travels through Italy's most charming villages, transforming them into open-air wineries for a weekend. The Egna/Neumarkt stop, in the province of Bolzano (Trentino-Alto Adige), takes place in the town's refined historic center along the famous Via Portici, one of the best-preserved medieval corners of South Tyrol and a proud member of the I Borghi più Belli d'Italia circuit.

Wine takes center stage

The heart of the event is the tasting experience: over forty wineries from all over the peninsula—including Trentino-Alto Adige, Veneto, Piedmont, Tuscany, Campania, Marche, Lombardy, Emilia-Romagna, Abruzzo, Puglia, and Lazio—present more than one hundred labels. There is a strong focus on local signature grape varieties like Teroldego, Müller-Thurgau, and Trento DOC sparkling wines, alongside regional excellence from across Italy. The tasting circuit is accessed via a voucher that includes the tastings, a branded glass, and a glass-holder bag, allowing guests to move freely between the tasting booths.

Gastronomy and South Tyrolean specialties

Alongside the wine, the gastronomic section highlights local flavors: charcuterie and cheese boards, regional fried snacks, pinsa, and traditional Roman dishes, as well as typical South Tyrolean offerings prepared by the village's partner restaurants. It is a perfect opportunity to pair fine wines with local dishes and discover the cross-border cuisine of South Tyrol.

Music and families

The event enlivens the town center with live concerts on two stages, featuring folk, blues, and Tyrolean sounds. There is also a dedicated space for the little ones, with children's workshops designed to make the event suitable for the whole family. The intimate atmosphere of the arcades and small squares makes Egna an ideal setting for a food and wine stroll.

A free-entry event

Access to the event area is free: you only pay for the voucher if you wish to taste the wines, while the food section and concerts are open to everyone. The Egna stop traditionally kicks off the national calendar of Borgo diVino in Tour, which visits dozens of villages across Italy throughout the year.
