About Mezzoldo in Cantina

In Mezzoldo, a mountain village at 835 meters in the upper Brembana Valley, one August evening the old stone cellars reopen to welcome those who come to taste. Along the village streets, a travelling food and wine route unfolds with refreshment points where you can sample wines, cheeses, cured meats, and typical mountain products. Live music, craft stalls, and entertainment for children complete one of the most anticipated evenings of the Brembana summer.

The stone cellars reopen for one evening

Mezzoldo in Cantina is one of the most anticipated evenings of the summer in the upper Brembana Valley, in the municipality of Mezzoldo (province of Bergamo), a mountain village nestled at 835 meters above sea level, about forty kilometers from the provincial capital. For one evening, the ancient stone cellars of the village are opened and transformed into tasting points, along a route that winds through the most characteristic streets and corners of the settlement.

A travelling food and wine journey

The heart of the event is the travelling food and wine journey: walking from one cellar to another, you can taste selected wines, cheeses, and cured meats, as well as the typical mountain specialties of the valley. The refreshment points are distributed throughout the village, combining tasting with the discovery of the place.

Music, crafts, and families

Around the food and wine route, the village comes alive with live music, craft stalls, and entertainment for children, in a festive atmosphere that brings together residents and visitors. The event, usually concentrated on a Saturday evening starting in the afternoon, has become a regular fixture on the Brembana summer calendar.

A village in the upper valley

Mezzoldo is located along the road that climbs towards the San Marco pass, in one of the highest and most evocative parts of the Brembana Valley. The event is an opportunity to discover a small mountain municipality that, for one evening, transforms into an itinerary of taste and tradition.
