Franciacorta Spring Festival
Sparkling wines, oysters, and culture in the Franciacorta hills
About Spring Festival
The Springtime of Franciacorta
When spring arrives, Franciacorta — the hilly area of the Province of Brescia famous for its Metodo Classico sparkling wine — comes alive with the Spring Festival. A widespread event involving the municipalities of the appellation, including Adro, offering three intertwined aspects: wine, gastronomy, and culture.
Three experiences in one
- Wine: open wineries with guided tours of the vineyards, Franciacorta tastings, and bike rides among the rows; at the Consortium, sensory sessions led by a sommelier
- Gastronomy: local restaurants offer special off-menu dishes, with an exceptional pairing of Marennes Oléron oysters and Franciacorta bubbles
- Culture: the FAI guides tours of monasteries, castles, and historic residences
A territory to discover
Adro and the other municipalities of Franciacorta become a grand enotourism stage for a weekend. The festival is designed for enthusiasts, professionals, and the curious: an opportunity to understand the Metodo Classico, savor unique pairings, and discover the historical and landscape heritage of one of Italy's most fascinating wine regions, just an hour from Milan.
Spring Festival — edition 2026
The 2026 edition, the third, confirms the experiential formula of the festival on the weekend of March 14-15. Wineries in Franciacorta — in Adro and other municipalities of the appellation — offer tours, tastings, and bike rides among the vineyards; fifteen restaurants reinvent their menus with the oyster-Franciacorta pairing; the FAI guides tours of monasteries and historic residences.
