Festival Franciacorta in Cantina - Celebrando il Festival a Rovato

The celebration of bubbles

Franciacorta, in the heart of the province of Brescia, is one of Italy's most renowned wine regions, home to the eponymous sparkling wines produced using the classic method. Every September, the Festival Franciacorta in Cantina celebrates this heritage by opening the doors of the region's wineries for a weekend of tastings, tours, and widespread events.

The event, organized by the Franciacorta Consortium, involves dozens of wineries and hundreds of appointments spread across the area's municipalities. Among these, the Municipality of Rovato plays a leading role.

Celebrating the Festival in Rovato

In Rovato, the festival takes the form of 'Celebrando il Festival', a grand evening in Piazza Cavour that brings together dozens of wineries from the Franciacorta Consortium. Visitors can taste different Franciacortas and pair them with gastronomic excellences offered by local producers and restaurants, in a festive atmosphere in the heart of the historic center.

Rovato is also one of the departure points for the bus tours that, during the festival weekend, connect cities like Brescia, Bergamo, Milan, and Rovato to the wineries, for tours with tastings, gala dinners, and picnics among the vineyards.

Rovato, gateway to Franciacorta

Located at the foot of Monte Orfano, in Lombardy, Rovato is one of the gateways to Franciacorta. Hosting 'Celebrando il Festival' in Piazza Cavour confirms the deep connection between the city and the wine culture that characterizes this territory, making the festival an unmissable event for food and wine enthusiasts.
