DiVinOlio

DiVinOlio, the taste of Tocco da Casauria

DiVinOlio is a food and wine festival that lights up the village of Tocco da Casauria, in the province of Pescara, Abruzzo, at the end of summer. Its name blends the town's two core products—wine and oil—and reflects its ancient heritage: Tocco da Casauria is recognized as both a City of Wine and a City of Oil, a dual title few Italian towns can claim.

Wine and oil, the soul of the land

The town of Tocco da Casauria sits on a hill in the Pescara River valley, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves at the foot of the Majella massif. This is the birthplace of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, now further elevated by the prestigious Casauria designation, and the Aprutino Pescarese PDO extra virgin olive oil, crafted from local cultivars like the Toccolana, an indigenous variety named after the village itself.

What to expect

• Guided tastings of local wines and oils from regional wineries and mills
• Traditional cuisine prepared with authentic products from the Pescara lands
• Show cooking and presentations by chefs and local producers
• Evenings in the historic center, between Palazzo Toro and the village squares

In the heart of the Abruzzo summer

DiVinOlio is a highlight of the Tocco summer events calendar and the regional food and wine circuit, attracting enthusiasts and curious visitors every year. It is the perfect opportunity to discover an authentic corner of inland Abruzzo, blending rural tradition, a culture of fine drinking, and rolling hillside landscapes.

A village to experience

Beyond the tastings, the festival invites you to wander through the alleys of Tocco da Casauria, meet the producers, and explore the local gastronomic heritage, which includes cheeses, honey, and the famous traditional Abruzzo herbal liqueur. An event that unites food, wine, community, and the identity of the Pescara territory.
