Edition 2025 — Glasses Under the Stars

The 2025 edition of Glasses Under the Stars took place from August 9th to 11th, with the first two evenings at the Castle of Carini and the final one at the Torre Ventimiglia in Montelepre. Each evening, starting at 8:30 PM, the tastings showcased a different facet of Sicilian viticulture: volcanic wines from Etna, labels from Western Sicily, and those from the smaller islands. Wine was intertwined with Renaissance music, seminars, and stargazing from the terraces.

Three evenings of glasses and stars

The 2025 edition of Glasses Under the Stars was held from August 9th to 11th, organized by Collisioni ETS with the support of the Metropolitan City of Palermo and the patronage of the Municipality of Carini.

On August 9th, at the Castle of Carini, the evening was dedicated to volcanic wines from Etna, featuring a Renaissance music concert and stargazing from the terraces. On August 10th, also at the castle, the focus was on wines from Western Sicily, accompanied by the seminar "The Story of Sicilian Wine: History, Territories, and the Future of Viticulture" and stargazing from the Chiostro del Carmine. On August 11th, at the Torre Ventimiglia in Montelepre, the protagonists were wines from the smaller islands and the south-east, along with family workshops "Let's Play Among the Stars" and final nighttime stargazing.
