A wandering food and wine tour through the medieval alleys of Goriano Sicoli
This edition has not been confirmed by the organiser to date. We recommend checking before going.
Goriano di Vino is a wandering food and wine tour that brings the historic center of Goriano Sicoli to life. This small town in the Subequana Valley, located in the province of L'Aquila in the heart of the Apennine Abruzzo region south of Sulmona, offers a unique setting. For one day, the village's medieval alleys, stone doorways, and quiet squares turn into a gourmet itinerary where the charm of ancient architecture meets the region's finest wines and culinary traditions.
The heart of the event is the wandering tour: as you stroll through the village alleys, you will encounter selected wineries offering quality tastings, paired with typical Abruzzese dishes. This marriage of wine and local flavors invites visitors on a slow-paced journey of pauses, encounters, and discoveries, all within a picturesque setting that celebrates the village's heritage and local identity.
Born from the commitment of the Goriano di Vino Association, led by president Donato De Mutiis, the festival has established itself over the years as one of the most anticipated autumn events in the Subequana Valley. The most recent edition welcomed over a thousand visitors to the village alleys, confirming the deep bond between the community of Goriano Sicoli and this event that blends food, wine, culture, and regional promotion.
Nestled at an altitude of approximately 720 meters and surrounded by forests and valleys, Goriano Sicoli is a village that has kept its medieval character intact. The festival is a precious opportunity to discover this authentic corner of inland Abruzzo, characterized by popular traditions, warm hospitality, and the genuineness of local produce. It is an appointment that combines the preservation of local heritage with the pleasure of fine dining and excellent wine.
Following the success of the last edition, which exceeded one thousand visitors, the Goriano di Vino Association has stated that they are already hard at work preparing the next appointment, with the goal of "doing even more and better." The official dates for the 2026 edition have not yet been announced; the food and wine tour usually takes place in October among the alleys of the village of Goriano Sicoli, in the Subequana Valley. The detailed program, including participating wineries and tastings, will be communicated by the organization closer to the event.
Goriano Sicoli is located in the Subequana Valley, in the province of L'Aquila. By car, it can be reached via the A25 Torano-Pescara motorway (exit at Pratola Peligna-Sulmona), then following local roads toward the village. The Goriano Sicoli train station is served by the Rome-Sulmona-Pescara line.
The event takes place along the alleys of the historic center. For information on how to participate, tasting kits, and the updated program, we recommend contacting the Goriano di Vino Association or the Municipality of Goriano Sicoli.
