About Colle di Vino

One evening in late May, San Damiano al Colle, a small village perched among the vineyards of Oltrepò Pavese, transforms into a large open-air winery. With a tasting bag around your neck, stroll through the streets of the center and the castle grounds, sampling over a hundred labels from local producers: Classic Method sparkling wines, red wines from Croatina, Barbera, and Pinot Noir, aromatic white wines, and traditional sweet wines. With street food, stalls, and a DJ set to accompany the evening, Colle di Vino is the festival that showcases the best of Oltrepò winemaking.

A village that becomes a journey of taste

Colle di Vino is the food and wine event that enlivens San Damiano al Colle, a municipality in the province of Pavia nestled among the hills of Oltrepò Pavese. For one evening, the historic center transforms into an open-air tasting route, where wine is the common thread for discovering local traditions and products.

Over a hundred Oltrepò labels

The heart of the event is the large, widespread tasting: over 100 selected labels offer a complete overview of Oltrepò Pavese productions. With the tasting bag, visitors access the stations set up in the village and in the castle areas to sample:

  • Classic Method sparkling wines and local spumante;
  • red wines based on Croatina, Barbera, and Pinot Noir;
  • aromatic white wines;
  • sweet wines of local tradition.

What makes the experience even more authentic is the direct interaction with local producers, who share stories about their vineyards, vintages, and techniques from one of Lombardy's most important wine regions.

Street food, music, and atmosphere

The wine is complemented by a program designed to turn the tasting into a true village festival:

  • street food and stalls with typical specialties and products;
  • a DJ set that accompanies the evening until late;
  • the village illuminated and animated as a natural backdrop.

San Damiano al Colle and Oltrepò Pavese

San Damiano al Colle is a rural village in Oltrepò Pavese, a land of hills cultivated with vines south of the Po River. Colle di Vino is the ideal opportunity to discover its wine identity in a convivial and informal setting, just a stone's throw from the wineries producing the wines featured during the event.
