Rose e Rosati

Rose e Rosati, the most fragrant pairing of the Apulian spring

Every May, Ruvo di Puglia, an elegant town in the Metropolitan City of Bari famous worldwide for its Jatta Museum and ceramic tradition, dresses up for Rose e Rosati. The event, promoted by the Pro Loco of Ruvo di Puglia with the support of the Municipality and the Puglia Region, celebrates two local excellences: floriculture—Ruvo is one of the most important districts in the South for the cultivation of roses and ornamental plants—and rosé wines, authentic ambassadors of Apulian oenology.

A format that weaves together flowers, wine, and culture

For two days, the historic center and the central Piazza Matteotti are filled with gastronomic and floral stands, amidst blooming flowerbeds, tastings, and crafts. The heart of the event is the meeting between producers, sommeliers, chefs, and visitors: masterclasses dedicated to rosés, show cooking with local stars, conferences on the future of the rose supply chain, and evening shows that animate the square until late at night.

• Floriculture: exhibition and market of roses, plants, and floral arrangements, with visits to companies in the Ruvo district.
• Food and Wine: tastings of rosé wines, typical Apulian products, and show cooking.
• Culture: free guided tours of the Cathedral, the Hypogeum of San Cleto, the Jatta Museum, and the city's historic palaces.
• Entertainment: concerts, live shows, and the scenic closing with dancing fountains in Piazza Matteotti.

Not just flowers: a weekend to discover Ruvo

Rose e Rosati is also an opportunity to explore the area: from walks through the alleys of the old town to excursions in the Alta Murgia National Park, a UNESCO-recognized Geopark that surrounds the city. An event that combines hospitality, sustainability, and the promotion of local products, capable of attracting thousands of visitors every year from all over Puglia and beyond, confirming itself as one of the most anticipated spring appointments in the province of Bari.
