Autumn in celebration in the village of San Martino in Colle, between roasted chestnuts and local wine
The Feast of Wine and Chestnuts takes place in San Martino in Colle, a hamlet of the Municipality of Perugia nestled in the hills separating the provincial capital from Marsciano. It is one of the most cherished autumn festivals (sagre) in the area, organised by the local Pro Loco (tourist board) and eagerly awaited each year by residents and visitors.
The absolute stars are the caldarroste — chestnuts roasted over a fire — and the local wine, accompanied by a rich offering of typical products and autumn specialities. Every evening, the food stalls, live music, dancing, and entertainment transform the village into a convivial meeting point, where one can rediscover the taste of Umbrian peasant traditions.
More than just a gastronomic event, the Feast of Wine and Chestnuts is a moment of community: a village festival (sagra) that tells the story of a small village's identity, where the aroma of roasted chestnuts and the warmth of the welcome are as valuable as the dishes served. An ideal opportunity to discover the most authentic Umbria, far from the major tourist circuits.
The 2026 edition of the Feast of Wine and Chestnuts will be held, as is tradition, in November in San Martino in Colle, a hamlet of Perugia. Over the years, the festival has typically taken place on the first two weekends of the month. The programme includes the unmissable stalls of roasted chestnuts and local wine, the offering of typical autumn products, and, every evening, music, dancing, and entertainment for all ages. The exact dates and detailed programme will be communicated by the Pro Loco of San Martino in Colle shortly before the event.
