Canneto Pavese Wine Festival

The wine town celebrates

Canneto Pavese, a small municipality in the province of Pavia nestled among the hills of Oltrepò Pavese, is one of those places where everything truly revolves around wine. Wineries, vineyards, winegrower families: here, wine culture is not a tourist attraction but the very fabric of daily life. The Wine Festival is the collective celebration of this vocation, the occasion when the village opens its doors and invites everyone to sit at its table.

A tradition spanning over forty years

Now in its 44th edition in 2025, the Festival is organized by the Pro Loco Canneto Pavese, an association founded in 1969 and a tireless animator of the town's life. For three days, usually in July, the streets of the historic center and the spaces of Via Roma fill with tasting booths, exhibitors, and visitors from all over the province and beyond.

What awaits you

The heart of the event is the tastings: the most representative wines of Oltrepò Pavese, from sparkling Bonarda to Barbera, from Pinot Nero to the classic method sparkling wines that have made this land famous. Alongside the glasses, the festival becomes convivial with the food stands offering traditional Pavia dishes.

• Guided tastings from local wineries
• Food and wine stands with local specialties
• Evenings with live music and DJ sets dedicated to the greatest hits of the 80s, 90s, and 2000s
• Entertainment in the streets and squares of the village

Why it's worth the trip

Visiting the Wine Festival means discovering Oltrepò Pavese in its most authentic dimension: not just the wine in the glass, but the community that produces it, the legends of the Canneto hills, the landscape of rows of vines sloping down to the plain. It is a festival that combines the pleasure of food with the discovery of a territory still largely off the beaten path of mass tourism, just a few kilometers from Pavia and an hour from Milan.
