About Grape Festival

Every October, Genzano di Lucania celebrates the grape harvest with the Grape and Typical Products Festival: tastings of grapes and wine, traditional Lucanian dishes, folk dances, and craft stands liven up the historic center of Alto Bradano in a grand celebration of autumn flavors, curated by the Pro Loco.

The Lucanian Grape Harvest Festival

When autumn colors the countryside of Alto Bradano, Genzano di Lucania celebrates the fruits of the earth with the Grape and Typical Products Festival. This is the grape harvest festival of this large agricultural village in the province of Potenza, an event that has drawn visitors from all over Basilicata and beyond for years, organized with passion by the Pro Loco Genzano di Lucania.

Among Bunches, Wine, and Tradition

The absolute star is the sweet grape of Alto Bradano, offered for tasting along the streets of the historic center along with local wine and typical Lucanian cuisine dishes. Accompanying the flavors are folk dances and popular music, traveling groups, craft stands, and entertainment for families, in an atmosphere that blends taste, conviviality, and peasant tradition.

Genzano and its Flavors

The festival is also a journey into the gastronomic identity of the town, where viticulture and agriculture have always marked the life of the community. Walking among the stands means discovering the genuine products of Alto Bradano and breathing in the pride of a territory that makes its authentic flavors a reason for celebration. An ideal weekend to get to know Genzano di Lucania at its most convivial moment.
