Champagne per tutti Festival
Champagne from independent vignerons at the Tettuccio Thermal Baths in Montecatini
About Champagne per tutti
A toast to excellence in the heart of the Valdinievole
The Champagne per tutti Festival is the annual spring event that brings the finest Champagne from small-scale producers to Montecatini-Terme, in the province of Pistoia. The setting is the monumental Tettuccio Thermal Baths, the Art Nouveau landmark of this Tuscan spa town, which comes alive for a weekend in April with tasting tables, crystal flutes, and the effervescent charm of fine Champagne.
Independent vignerons in the spotlight
The heart of the festival lies in the vignerons indépendants: over twenty artisanal producers from the Champagne region, united under the Federation of Independent Vignerons, present their creations in person. Visitors can explore around sixty exceptional cuvées, often produced in limited quantities and difficult to source in Italian wine shops. The opportunity to speak directly with those who cultivate the vines and craft the wine is the unique value that sets this event apart from a standard commercial tasting.
Masterclasses, gastronomy, and French culture
The program goes beyond free-roaming tastings. AIS (Italian Sommelier Association) sommeliers lead free masterclasses to deepen knowledge of Champagne, covering everything from vinification techniques to label interpretation. The event also features gourmet food stalls with pairings designed to enhance the bubbles, as well as cultural highlights, such as an exploration of the history of French glassware. The elegant atmosphere of the thermal baths is further enhanced by live music and dance performances titled "Note su Tela," curated by the Ad Arte Association.
A showcase of the Italian-French bond
Organized by the Champagne per Tutti Recreational and Cultural Association, the festival benefits from long-standing collaborations with institutions such as the Alliance Française of Valdinievole, the Institut Français, and the sommelier community. It is an event that celebrates the food and wine friendship between Italy and France, finding its ideal home in Montecatini-Terme, Tuscany's premier resort town.

- Meet over twenty independent French vignerons in person.
