Nelle Terre del Grechetto
The village of Civitella d'Agliano celebrates wine: over 40 wineries offering tastings through the alleys of the Tuscia region.
About Nelle Terre del Grechetto
A journey of taste in the heart of Tuscia
Nelle Terre del Grechetto is one of the most anticipated food and wine events in the province of Viterbo. It takes place every year on the last weekend of July in the historic center of Civitella d'Agliano, a small town in Lazio perched on the border with Umbria and Tuscany. For over twenty years, the festival has celebrated the territory through its signature wine, Grechetto, a white grape variety that finds one of its most authentic expressions here.
Wine glass and lanyard through medieval alleys
The format is a classic: visitors are provided with a wine glass and a lanyard to wander freely along a tasting route that winds through squares, courtyards, and narrow village streets. Along the way, you will find stands from over 40 wineries from Tuscia, Umbria, and other wine-growing regions, offering their wines paired with local specialties. The landscape provides a stunning backdrop: stone houses overlooking the evocative Calanchi Valley, shaped by the erosion of clay soils.
Wine, culture, and entertainment
Nelle Terre del Grechetto is more than just a tasting event. The program weaves wine with live music, poetry readings, and in-depth sessions for enthusiasts and industry professionals. Evenings come alive with concerts in the square and literary readings hosted in the most scenic corners of the village, while daytime activities include technical tastings reserved for journalists and producers, as well as showcases for emerging local wines.
A local event
The event is organized by the Municipality of Civitella d'Agliano together with the Pro Loco, in collaboration with wine expert Carlo Zucchetti. It is a precious opportunity to discover a lesser-known corner of Lazio, where rural tradition, the hospitality of small villages, and the quality of wine production merge into a visitor-friendly experience. Those who arrive in Civitella d'Agliano will find an authentic town, far from mass tourism, ideal for combining wine discovery with the historical and natural heritage of Tuscia.
