About Sarzana DOC

For a weekend in mid-June, the historic centre of Sarzana transforms into a large open-air wine bar. Sarzana DOC brings about twenty local wineries to Via Gramsci, Via Bertoloni, and Piazza Luni, with wine tastings accompanied by the flavours of Lunigiana and the Gulf: from the mussels of La Spezia to local meats, and oysters. An event curated by the Consorzio Sarzana Vitae, in the Province of La Spezia.

Wine at the heart of the city

Sarzana DOC is the event that celebrates the wine excellences of the region in the heart of Sarzana (Province of La Spezia). Along Via Gramsci, Via Bertoloni, and Piazza Luni, about twenty wineries offer their wines for tasting, featuring both historic producers and new realities from Eastern Liguria and Lunigiana.

Not just wine: the flavours of the region

Alongside the glasses, the event showcases local gastronomic products: the mussels from the Gulf of La Spezia brought by fishermen, the meats from Lunigiana, and the unmissable oysters, served by dedicated food trucks. A combination that tells the food and wine identity of this corner of Liguria bordering Tuscany.

A project by Consorzio Sarzana Vitae

The event is organised by the Consorzio Sarzana Vitae, an organisation that has grown in just a few years to count about ninety members, with the support of the municipal administration. Tastings take place in the evening, when the historic centre comes alive and becomes the ideal stage to discover the wines of the region in a convivial atmosphere.
