About Curti Wine Festival

Every autumn, the Curti Wine Festival — "A World of Sounds" brings the ancient hamlet of Curti in Giano Vetusto to life, nestled in the heart of the Monte Maggiore mountains in the province of Caserta. For a few days, the village fills with local wine, dishes prepared with extra virgin Gianese olive oil, and the famous guanto gianese, the town's signature pastry. Tastings, food and wine stalls, and live music accompany this young yet deeply cherished event, which is part of the inter-municipal project celebrating the musical and cultural traditions of Monte Maggiore, supported by the Campania Region.

A wine festival in the village of Curti

The Curti Wine Festival is a food, wine, and music event held in the ancient hamlet of Curti, in the municipality of Giano Vetusto, in the province of Caserta, in the heart of inland Campania. At the foot of Monte Maggiore, the small village transforms for a few days into a scattered trail of glasses, flavors, and sounds, inviting residents and visitors to rediscover the alleys, cellars, and stone houses of a long-forgotten rural community.

Among wine glasses, Gianese oil, and guanto

The heart of the festival lies in the local wine tastings, featuring labels from regional wineries, paired with traditional dishes prepared with the prized extra virgin Gianese olive oil. The town's iconic product, the guanto gianese—a traditional pastry representing the confectionery heritage of Giano Vetusto—is also a must-try. Food and wine stalls, set up throughout the village alleys, offer a journey through the agricultural excellence of Monte Maggiore in a convivial, popular atmosphere.

"A World of Sounds": the Monte Maggiore project

The event is part of the inter-municipal festival "A World of Sounds", dedicated to the musical and cultural traditions of Monte Maggiore. The project involves the municipalities of Liberi (lead partner), Castel di Sasso, Roccaromana, and Giano Vetusto, under the artistic direction of Francesco Sorrentino, and is funded by the Campania Region through the 2021-2027 Development and Cohesion Funds. Live music, viewed as a universal language and a means of popular expression, accompanies the tastings throughout every evening of the festival.

A rediscovered village

Founded in 2024 and having grown rapidly, the Curti Wine Festival is a young yet recurring event capable of attracting audiences from across the province of Caserta. Beyond the table, the event is an opportunity to enhance the historical and landscape heritage of the village of Curti and to showcase the food and wine identity of Giano Vetusto: the wine, oil, and pastries of a territory that draws its strength from tradition. An authentic festival that unites taste, culture, and community in the heart of Campania.
