Calici Santarcangelo

The wine festival in the heart of Romagna

Calici Santarcangelo is one of the most beloved summer gastronomic events in Romagna. Every year, in the early August evenings, the historic center of Santarcangelo di Romagna (Province of Rimini, Emilia-Romagna) fills with tasting stands, glasses, and aromas: for two evenings, the Malatesta village becomes a large open-air lounge dedicated to wine and conviviality.

A tasting journey through the squares

The event unfolds as a widespread itinerary along the streets and squares of the town: from Piazza Ganganelli to Via Cavour, from Via Don Minzoni to Piazza delle Monache. Each area has its own oenological identity, with spaces dedicated to still wines from Romagna, sparkling wines, organic, biodynamic, and natural wines, and a square reserved for international labels.

• Over 35 wineries and producers, mainly from Romagna, featuring local grape varieties: Sangiovese, Albana, Trebbiano, Pagadebit
• Stands of typical Romagna cuisine, with piadina, cured meats, and local specialties
• Live music and street performances that liven up the village until late at night
• The limited edition tasting glass, with which you can move freely between the stands

Calici Week

The main weekend is preceded by Calici Week, a week of introductory events — city walks, winery visits, and themed events — that accompany the public towards the two main evenings of the festival.

A nationally recognized quality event

Organized by Pro Loco Santarcangelo di Romagna APS together with the network of local organizations, Calici Santarcangelo has obtained the prestigious national mark "Quality Event" from UNPLI (National Union of Pro Loco of Italy), recognizing the organizational level and the ability to enhance the territory and its products. The event thus confirms itself as a benchmark for both the local community and for wine tourism in the entire Emilia-Romagna region.

Santarcangelo, a village to discover

The setting for the festival is one of the most characteristic villages in Romagna, with its cobblestone streets, tuff caves, and the famous Piazza Ganganelli. A destination that combines wine culture with the discovery of a town rich in history, just a few kilometers from Rimini and the Adriatic coast.
