Festa dell'Uva e dei Prodotti del Territorio
The Oltrepò Pavese autumn between wine, flavours, and hot air balloon rides
About Festa dell'Uva
The grape harvest festival in Oltrepò
The Festa dell'Uva e dei Prodotti del Territorio is the autumn festival of Borgo Priolo, a municipality in the Province of Pavia in the heart of the Oltrepò Pavese, the great Lombard wine region. It is held on a Sunday in late September, celebrating the conclusion of the grape harvest with wine, flavours, and tradition.
Wine, flavours, and agricultural tradition
The programme revolves around food and wine: wine tastings with personalised glasses and pouches to sample local labels, the famous brasadè di Staghiglione, honey, fresh fruit, and other typical products. For the little ones, there is grape stomping, a fun and educational way to discover the wine tradition, while the Gatteo Club displays vintage tractors, recalling the area's agricultural history.
Culture, music, and hot air balloons
The day is enriched by theatrical guided tours to discover the history and legends of the village, music from the Arkana Pipe Band with drums, bagpipes, and bombardes, and the non-competitive race "Borgo di Corsa". But the most evocative experience is the hot air balloon ride, which allows you to admire the magnificent autumnal landscapes of the Oltrepò Pavese hills from above.
