Friuli Doc
The great food and wine festival of Friuli Venezia Giulia, in the historic center of Udine
About Friuli Doc
The Udine Festival
Friuli Doc is the most important food and wine event in Friuli Venezia Giulia and one of the most beloved in the entire Northeast. Founded in 1995 and organized by the Municipality of Udine, every September it transforms the historic center of the regional capital into an immense showcase of regional flavors and traditions: for four days, the squares, loggias, and streets of the city fill with stands, aromas, music, and people, in a festive atmosphere that attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors.
Flavors of Friuli
The heart of the event is the typical products of the region: Prosciutto di San Daniele DOP, Montasio cheese, gubana, frico, the great Friulian wines, and the many specialties from the Pro Loco associations. The gastronomic offer ranges from traditional Friulian dishes to Adriatic fish, with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options also available. Each stand tells a piece of the region, from the Carnic mountains to the Grado lagoon.
Not just gastronomy
Friuli Doc is also music, entertainment, and culture: concerts, DJ sets, street performances, exhibitions, meetings, and sports initiatives liven up the city squares from morning till late at night. Piazza Libertà , Piazza Matteotti, the Castle, and the medieval loggias provide the backdrop for a rich program that combines tradition and modernity, engaging families, young people, and lovers of good living.
A showcase for the region
More than just a festival, Friuli Doc is a great opportunity to promote Friuli Venezia Giulia, its producers, its landscapes, and its culture of hospitality. For those who want to discover the best of regional food and wine and experience Udine in its most festive guise, it is the event of the year: a stroll through the flavors, wines, and traditions of a generous land.
