MacchiadiVino — Mostra Mercato del Vino e dei Sapori
The historic market exhibition of Molise wine and flavours, since 1974
About MacchiadiVino
A Market Exhibition Half a Century Old
MacchiadiVino is the historic market exhibition of wine and flavours in Macchia d'Isernia, a municipality in the province of Isernia. Founded in 1974, it is one of the longest-running food and wine events in Molise and has helped make the village "the town of wine and blues". Every September, the historic centre comes alive with stands, tastings, and a food and wine route through the cellars and streets of the village.
Pentro Wine Takes Centre Stage
The heart of the event is the promotion of Pentro Wine, a designation linked to the Isernia area, and typical Molise products. Alongside the market exhibition is the Regional Wine Competition "Premio Ercole", authorised by the Ministry of Agriculture and reserved for Molise wineries: in 2026, the Municipality established a special register of tasting commissioners to ensure a technically qualified jury.
Wine, Music, and Community
Over the years, MacchiadiVino has combined its food and wine focus with a rich programme of concerts and shows, also hosting well-known names in Italian music. The event ideally dialogues with the village's other major festival, the Macchia Blues Festival, in a pairing that tells the story of Macchia d'Isernia's identity.
MacchiadiVino — edition 2026
The confirmation of the 2026 edition of MacchiadiVino comes from the establishment, in February 2026, of the register of tasting commissioners for the Regional Wine Competition "Premio Ercole", authorised by MASAF and reserved for Molise wineries. The selection of technical and expert tasters aims to provide the competition with a qualified jury, capable of promoting the region's wine production. The market exhibition of wine and flavours thus confirms its September date in the historic centre of Macchia d'Isernia.
Programme MacchiadiVino 2026
The detailed programme for the 2026 edition, including the food and wine route, Pentro Wine tastings, and concerts, will be announced in the months preceding the event. The Regional Wine Competition "Premio Ercole" is confirmed to take place, with the new jury of tasting commissioners established in February 2026.
