Neviglie Patronal Feast and Marcè Tastè
Three days of celebration, flavors, and tradition in the UNESCO hills of the Langhe
About Patronal Feast and Marcè Tastè
A village festival in the heart of the Langhe
The Neviglie Patronal Feast is one of the most cherished events in the calendar of the small town of Neviglie, in the province of Cuneo, nestled in the heart of the Langhe hills—a UNESCO World Heritage site. For three days, the Piedmontese village lights up with music, dancing, culinary aromas, and community spirit, in a format that combines religious devotion with the region's great food and wine traditions.
Three days of conviviality
The festival program alternates between evenings dedicated to fine dining and entertainment. It kicks off with the Gran Paella, accompanied by local wines and a live show, followed by the Gran Costinata (ribs feast) and a dance night with live music. These popular gatherings are designed to bring residents and visitors together around tables under the stars of the Moscato hills.
The Marcè Tastè, a grand finale among the vineyards
The highlight is the Marcè Tastè, the gourmet walk that concludes the festival. It is a travelling lunch along a route of approximately four kilometers, mainly on dirt roads, winding through the vineyards and farmhouses surrounding the village. Along the way, there are several delicious stops: an aperitif, appetizers, a first course served in the farmhouses scattered across the hills, and finally, a main course, dessert, and live music in the historic center of Neviglie. The route is accessible to everyone and open to four-legged friends on a leash, combining the pleasure of dining with the discovery of the Langhe landscape.
Culture, art, and territory
Each edition of the Marcè Tastè features a theme that serves as a common thread, accompanied by moments dedicated to culture and art along the way. The event, organized by the Pro Loco of Neviglie together with the Municipality, celebrates local products and the identity of the Langhe, a land of great wines like Moscato d'Asti, set in one of the most evocative landscapes in Piedmont.
