Le Calli di Bacco

Wine enters the alleys of Grado

At the end of October, when seaside tourism gives way to a more intimate, autumnal island, the historic centre of Grado comes alive with Le Calli di Bacco, the food and wine event that brings wine and lagoon flavours to the charming alleys and squares of the old town. Promoted and organised by Confcommercio Gorizia for the Municipality of Grado, the event focuses on "the authentic flavour of the Island of Grado".

A widespread tasting route

The island's restaurateurs guide visitors on tasting itineraries along the ancient streets of the village, discovering seasonal catches and typical lagoon dishes. Tasting stands, guided tastings, cooking shows, and meetings with producers mark the days, accompanied by wines from the Friuli region and the voices of the winemakers. The alleys thus become one large open-air wine bar.

Lagoon cuisine and great Friulian wines

The protagonist is the link between sea and land: Grado's lagoon fish meets the wines of the Friulian hills, in a dialogue that tells the food and wine identity of this corner of Friuli Venezia Giulia. It is an opportunity to discover an autumnal Grado, authentic and gourmet, far from the summer crowds.

A young but already established event

Born in 2025, Le Calli di Bacco has won over the public and operators since its first edition, so much so that it has expanded beyond the historic centre. The direction of Confcommercio Gorizia and the support of the Municipality of Grado make it one of the most promising food and wine events in the autumn calendar of the Island of the Sun.
