New Oil Festival — Sant'Urbano
Stroll through the olive groves and taste the new oil
About New Oil Festival
The new oil from the Montecchio hills
The New Oil Festival takes place in Sant'Urbano, a hillside hamlet of Montecchio Maggiore in the province of Vicenza, and celebrates the olive-growing vocation of this territory. The Montecchio hills are characterized by sandy soils that, combined with the favorable climate, create an ideal environment for olive cultivation.
A walk through the olive groves
The festival opens with a walk through the olive groves on the hills, allowing visitors to discover the agricultural landscape of the hamlet. Upon returning to the heart of Sant'Urbano, the tasting of the new oil from local producers takes place, accompanied by appetizers made with typical products, including scopeton, thanks to the collaboration with the Amici dello Scopeton.
A festival that supports producers
The New Oil Festival was born in 2007 on the initiative of Guerrino Cozza and the volunteers of the Amici della Città di Montecchio association, in collaboration with the Associazione Arca, with the aim of promoting this reality and supporting small local producers. The event, with free admission, takes place under the patronage of the Municipality of Montecchio Maggiore.
New Oil Festival — edition 2026
The 2026 edition of the New Oil Festival is scheduled for November in Sant'Urbano, with the usual format of a walk through the olive groves followed by a tasting of the new oil. The exact date will be announced by the Amici della Città di Montecchio closer to the event.
