The great harvest festival at the foot of Montenetto
Capriano del Colle, a municipality in the province of Brescia, owes its identity to wine: here, at the foot of Montenetto—the only hill breaking up the Brescia plain—DOC Capriano del Colle wines are produced, the fruit of an ancient winemaking tradition. The Festa dell'Uva e del Vino is the celebration of this tradition, the autumn event where the entire town pays homage to the harvest.
The festival, which generally takes place in October, enlivens the historic center and the village spaces for four days. The program alternates cultural and folkloric moments with gastronomic and musical offerings:
With over forty years of history—the 46th edition took place in 2025—the Festa dell'Uva e del Vino is one of the most deeply rooted festivals in the province of Brescia. Organized by the Pro Loco Capriano del Colle, it manages to combine the promotion of local wine with the popular enjoyment of parades and musical evenings, attracting visitors from all over the Brescia region.
Participating in the Festa dell'Uva means discovering a little-known but highly characterful wine territory, that of Montenetto, and experiencing it at its most festive moment. Between a glass of DOC, a float parade, and the harvest atmosphere, Capriano del Colle reveals its most authentic soul.
The 47th Festa dell'Uva e del Vino will return to Capriano del Colle in October 2026, reprising the formula that has celebrated the harvest and the wine identity of the Brescia village for over forty years. The precise dates will be confirmed by the Pro Loco in the weeks preceding the event.
The usual format includes four days of festivities, with tastings of Capriano del Colle DOC wines and those of the Montenetto Consortium, parades of allegorical floats, period costume processions, concerts, food stands, and the traditional parade of vintage tractors.
The detailed program for the 47th edition will be published by Pro Loco Capriano del Colle in the weeks before the festival. The usual format includes:
The tastings of Montenetto DOC wines and the parades of allegorical floats and costumed processions, the folkloric heart of the harvest festival.
