Rutigliano Table Grape Festival

The 61st Rutigliano Grape Festival

The sixty-first edition of the Rutigliano Table Grape Festival was held on October 4 and 5, 2025, confirming the event as one of the most attended in the Apulian autumn. The program kicked off on Saturday with grape tastings at Palazzo Settanni, followed by exhibitions, workshops, markets, a grape fair, and street food along the streets of the center. In the evening, at 9:30 PM, the major free concert by The Kolors on Via Dante drew a large crowd.

Sunday continued with exhibitions, markets, DJ sets, show-cooking, and another grape tasting session, leading up to the grand musical finale in the evening. As per tradition, the absolute star was the Giant Cluster Competition, which awarded the heaviest bunches grown by local farms, celebrating the excellence of Rutigliano's table grapes.
