Autumn in celebration in the village of San Martino in Colle, with roasted chestnuts and local wine
The Festival 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 fairs in the Perugia area, organised by the local Pro Loco and eagerly awaited each year by residents and visitors to the area.
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 specialties. 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 a gastronomic event, the Festival of Wine and Chestnuts is a moment of community: a village fair that tells the identity of a small village, 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 Festival 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 fair has typically taken place on the first two weekends of the month. The program 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 program will be communicated by the Pro Loco of San Martino in Colle shortly before the event.
