Montuese August

A Festival Telling the Story of Oltrepò

Agosto Montuese is the major summer event in Montù Beccaria, a wine village perched on the hills of Oltrepò Pavese, in the province of Pavia. For eight consecutive evenings, the town comes alive with music, aromas, and wine glasses: the heart of the event is the historic Wine Exhibition, a showcase of the oenological excellence of one of Lombardy's most important wine-growing areas.

Wine, Food, and Concerts Under the Stars

The formula is tried-and-tested and generous: each evening, the village opens its food stands with original menus served at tables, accompanied by Oltrepò wines. Concerts under the stars alternate on stage, each with its own musical identity, from traditional dance music to cover bands, and more contemporary offerings. It's a grassroots festival, animated by a group of local young people and the Pro Loco (local tourism board), which renews its commitment each year to keep alive a tradition beloved by the entire Oltrepò region.

An Important Milestone

The event is closely linked to the Wine Exhibition, which in 2026 celebrates a symbolic milestone: its 60th edition. A milestone that testifies to how deeply rooted this festival is in the life of Montù Beccaria and in the wine culture of Oltrepò Pavese. The free donation entry and informal welcome make it an accessible event for everyone, perfect for discovering the flavors and hospitality of the Pavia region.
