About Wine and Chestnuts San Martino in Colle

When autumn colours the hills between Perugia and Marsciano, the village of San Martino in Colle lights its braziers for the Festival of Wine and Chestnuts. Steaming roasted chestnuts, local wine, typical seasonal products, and many other specialties accompany evenings of music, dancing, and shows for all ages. An authentic village fair celebrating the most genuine flavours and aromas of Umbrian autumn.

Autumn in San Martino in Colle

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.

Roasted Chestnuts, Wine, and Seasonal Flavours

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.

A Genuine Village Festival

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.
