Pachino Grape Harvest Festival

The 4th edition of the Pachino Grape Harvest Festival was held from September 19 to 21, 2025, at the Stazione del Vino in Piazza Pietro Nenni. The theme of the year, Red Heritage Pachino, celebrated the three red symbols of the territory: wine, the Pachino tomato, and tuna.

Organized by the Vivi Vinum Pachino association as part of the Vino Connect Sicilia project, the event featured tastings of over sixty labels from the Nero d'Avola territory, accompanied by dishes from local restaurateurs in collaboration with students from the Paolo Calleri hospitality school. Among the most popular events were the Palio delle Botti, the Concorso dei Vini dello Scagno, the La Vendemmia nel Piatto culinary competition, masterclasses, and conferences. On Saturday, September 20, the concert by the Dik Dik, a historic Italian beat generation band from the 1960s, attracted a large crowd.
