About CastelnuoVino
CastelnuoVino, the village that toasts to autumn
When autumn arrives in the Monti Dauni, Castelnuovo della Daunia opens the doors of its historic center for CastelnuoVino, the festival celebrating local wines and traditional flavors. The village's narrow streets and squares, with Via Roma as its beating heart, transform into a tasting trail where visitors stroll from stall to stall, glass in hand, amidst the scents of grape must, local products, and Apulian cuisine.
A Pro Loco event for the whole community
The event is organized entirely by the Pro Loco G.B. Trotta APS of Castelnuovo della Daunia, in collaboration with UNPLI, Pro Loco d'Italia, and the Borghi Autentici d'Italia circuit, with the patronage of the Municipality. It is a festival created by the village for the village and its visitors: a way to rediscover the historic center of this small town in the Monti Dauni, in the hinterland of the Foggia province, far from the beaten paths of Apulia.
Tastings, music, and tradition
The common thread is the wine from local wineries, which can be savored alongside typical specialties: taralli, baked goods, cheeses, and dishes from the Daunian peasant tradition. The tastings are accompanied by live folk music, with folk groups enlivening the evenings, and re-enactment moments such as the flag-wavers' parade. There are also activities designed for children, with workshops dedicated to culinary traditions and creativity, as well as guided tours of the village to discover the corners, alleys, and views of Castelnuovo.
Why it's worth visiting
CastelnuoVino is the ideal opportunity to experience the authenticity of a Monti Dauni village during one of the most evocative seasons of the year. Those who love slow tourism, good wine, and the convivial atmosphere of village festivals will find this a perfect stop: unpretentious, substantial, and filled with the genuineness of a community that welcomes you with warmth. A small but great event that tells the story of the most intimate and least touristy side of Apulia.
