Borgo diVino in Tour Erice

Wine arrives on the summit of Erice

Borgo diVino in Tour is the major traveling food and wine festival promoted by the I Borghi più belli d'Italia association and organized by Valica S.p.A., which visits dozens of villages across the peninsula every year, bringing quality wine to the country's most beautiful historic centers. For the 2026 edition, Erice, in the province of Trapani, is the only Sicilian village included in the calendar of 25 national stops: a recognition of the value of its historical heritage and the landscape that overlooks the gulf from an altitude of over 750 meters.

A tasting trail through medieval squares

During the three evenings, the ancient heart of the town of Erice transforms into a widespread wine itinerary that winds through Piazza della Loggia, Piazza San Giuliano, and Piazza San Domenico. The cobblestone streets and stone courtyards provide the backdrop for the winery stands, in a unique atmosphere where tasting intertwines with the discovery of the village, its churches, and its panoramic views.

The wineries and wines on tasting

Over 30 wineries, both local and from all over Italy, accompany visitors on a journey through flavors. There is ample space for Sicilian and Trapani excellence, with labels such as Erice DOC, Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG, Catarratto, and Grillo, alongside a selection of wines from other regions of the peninsula. A complete overview of Italian winemaking, from Mediterranean whites to structured reds.

Not just wine: gastronomy and music

• Gastronomic specialties from the Trapani and Sicilian territory, from typical products to local street food
• Live music and entertainment during the event evenings
• Cultural and territorial promotion initiatives aimed at residents and visitors

How the tasting works

Borgo diVino is an event with free access, open to everyone. Those who wish to taste the wines can purchase a voucher, online or directly on-site, which entitles them to eight wine tastings of their choice from the participating wineries, including the tasting glass. Gastronomy can be purchased separately at the local stands.

Erice, a village to experience

Perched on Mount San Giuliano, Erice is one of the most fascinating villages in Sicily: a maze of medieval alleys, churches, the Castle of Venus, and a view that stretches from Trapani to the Egadi Islands. Experiencing Borgo diVino means combining wine culture with the magic of a place suspended between sky and sea, in one of the most beloved stops of the entire national tour.
