About Maisenzavino

Maisenzavino is the food and wine event that enlivens the historic centre of Esine, in Valle Camonica, province of Brescia. A play on words between "mais" (corn) and "vino" (wine) that tells the heart of the event: the wines of local producers and corn-based products, particularly the spiny corn from the middle Valle Camonica. Between tastings, stalls, and meetings, Maisenzavino promotes the excellences of the Camun territory in a widespread path through the village streets.

Wine and Corn in Esine

Maisenzavino is a food and wine event that fills the historic centre of Esine, a municipality in Valle Camonica in the province of Brescia, with wine exhibitors from the area and corn-based products. The name itself, a play on words between "mais" (corn) and "vino" (wine), summarises the two protagonists of the event.

Spiny Corn from Valle Camonica

Among the most valued products is spiny corn, a native variety typical of the middle Valle Camonica, a symbol of a mountain agricultural tradition that the event helps to promote. Alongside corn-based products, stalls offer wines from local producers, in a widespread tasting experience through the streets and squares of Esine's historic centre.

An Event of the Camun Territory

Maisenzavino is part of the wider calendar of events that enliven Valle Camonica, a territory known as the "Valley of Signs". It is an opportunity to discover the food and wine excellences of the Camun area in an authentic village setting, combining tastings, meetings, and moments of conviviality. The event represents a showcase for local producers and an invitation to experience Esine and its valley through local flavours.
