About Féta di Resén

The Féta di Resén is the historic Grape Festival of Chambave, dedicated to the prized white Moscato that has made this village in the Aosta Valley famous. For five days, at the end of September, the town transforms into a grand wine-making stage: tastings in the village cellars with Le Crotte du Bor, dinners featuring typical products, concerts, dances, the Vertical dell'Uva race, and a mass in honor of the winegrowers with the brass band. One of the most heartfelt and long-standing wine sagre (festivals) in the region.

The festival of Moscato di Chambave

The Féta di Resén (Grape Festival, in the local Patois) is the most important event for the community of Chambave (Province of Aosta), a village in the middle Aosta Valley famous for its white Moscato. Reaching its 65th edition in 2025, it is one of the longest-running and most beloved wine sagre in the region, organized by the Pro Loco of Chambave.

Chambave Moscato, a wine of excellence

The Chambave Muscat DOC is one of the most renowned white wines of the Aosta Valley, the result of heroic viticulture practiced on the terraced slopes surrounding the town. The festival celebrates the harvest and the deep bond between Chambave and its wine-making tradition, with the winegrowers as the absolute protagonists.

Le Crotte du Bor and tastings

The heart of the event are Le Crotte du Bor (the crotte, the village cellars): for the occasion, producers open the doors of their cellars to offer tastings of Moscato and other Aosta Valley wines, in a gastronomic journey through the village streets. There are also dinners featuring typical products, such as the traditional mixed fried fish.

Sport, music, and religious tradition

The program combines very different moments: from the Vertical dell'Uva, an uphill race through the vineyards, to evening concerts and DJ sets, to the solemn mass in honor of the winegrowers accompanied by the Chambave brass band. A complete festival, capable of uniting flavors, sport, music, and faith in one grand celebration of Aosta Valley wine culture.
