Wine, must, and typical products in the village of Penna in Teverina
The Festa della Vendemmia in Penna in Teverina, in the province of Terni, is an autumn sagra (traditional festival) with a long tradition, organized by the Pro Loco (local tourism board) and dedicated to celebrating the harvest. It traditionally takes place on the first weekend of October and enlivens the historic center of the Amerino village with three days of celebration.
The program combines a market fair, a covered food stand, free tastings of wine, must, grapes, bread, and typical products, art exhibitions, band gatherings, dance performances, and musical evenings with DJ sets. A particularly anticipated event is the gastronomic 'serpentone' (long procession), which winds through the streets of the historic center with tastings and conviviality.
The Festa della Vendemmia is an identity-defining moment for Penna in Teverina and the entire Amerino community: beyond the food and wine aspect, it offers an opportunity to discover an authentic village in the lower Tiber valley, with shuttle service and parking to facilitate visitor access.
The Festa della Vendemmia returns to Penna in Teverina in October 2026 with its 48th edition. The event, organized by the Pro Loco, traditionally takes place on the first weekend of October and features a market fair, a food stand, free tastings of wine, must, and typical products, as well as the characteristic gastronomic 'serpentone' and shows and musical evenings.
The precise dates for the 2026 edition will be published by the Pro Loco on the official website festadellavendemmia.it in the weeks preceding the event.
