Wine, local flavours and music on the shores of Lake Scanno
This edition has not been confirmed by the organiser to date. We recommend checking before going.
Lago DiVino is the summer food and wine festival held on the shores of Lake Scanno, in the municipality of Scanno, in the province of L'Aquila, nestled in the mountainous heart of Abruzzo. For two days, the banks of this famous heart-shaped lake, set among the peaks of the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park, turn into an oasis of taste, aromas, and music where wine takes centre stage.
The heart of the event is the gastronomic trail winding along the lakeshore: selected local wineries offer tastings of great Abruzzo wines, from Montepulciano d'Abruzzo to Trebbiano, and from Cerasuolo to native white varieties. Alongside the tasting stands, visitors can discover traditional local products from the Abruzzo mountains, ranging from cheeses and cured meats to Navelli saffron and traditional desserts.
Lago DiVino is more than just tastings: the programme features live cooking shows with local chefs who showcase and reinterpret regional ingredients, accompanied by live music during the sunset hours, when the warm light reflects on the lake's surface. It is an experience designed to engage all the senses, blending authentic flavours, melodies, and one of the most photographed landscapes in Abruzzo.
The event is set in Scanno, a medieval village famous for its historic centre, traditional costumes, goldsmithing, the presentosa, and of course, its heart-shaped lakeโone of the most evocative spots in the Apennines. Lago DiVino was created to promote this region by combining wine tourism, gastronomy, and landscape, showcasing Abruzzo's wine excellence in a stunning natural setting.
The festival, which reached its second edition in 2025 following its 2024 debut, is a free-entry summer highlight, perfect for families, wine enthusiasts, and tourists seeking an authentic experience among nature and flavours. Dates for the 2026 edition have not yet been officially announced.
The dates and programme for the 2026 edition of Lago DiVino in Scanno have not yet been released. Based on previous editions, the event is expected to take place in August on the shores of Lake Scanno, featuring tastings of Abruzzo wines, cooking shows, local products, and live music. Information will be updated as soon as the organisation announces the official calendar.
The event takes place on the shores of Lake Scanno, in the municipality of Scanno (AQ), Abruzzo.
