The wines and spirits of Romagna take over the piazza in Savignano sul Rubicone
Savignano Wine is the food and wine event that enlivens the historic center of Savignano sul Rubicone, in the province of Forlì-Cesena, in the heart of Romagna, at the beginning of July. For two evenings, the village transforms into a large open-air lounge where wine, artisan spirits, and good food become the protagonists, in a festive atmosphere that attracts enthusiasts and curious visitors from all over the Riviera and the hinterland.
Along the streets of the center and in Piazza Borghesi, the tasting route brings together over 40 selected Romagna wineries, joined this year by a section dedicated to artisan spirits and distillates from the region. The journey through the glasses is accompanied by guided tastings by AIS Romagna (Italian Sommelier Association), which offers insights into the great grape varieties of the territory and awards the best Sangiovese, the best Albana, and the best Rebola each edition.
Alongside the wines, food stands and gourmet food trucks offer traditional Romagna dishes and quality street food options. The evenings are enlivened by itinerant shows in the village streets and live music in the piazza, with concerts and performances that accompany visitors until late at night in a convivial and festive atmosphere.
Among the most popular new features is the Savignano Wine Trail, which combines the pleasure of movement with the magic of wine: participants can choose between a group walk of about 8 kilometers and a non-competitive run of 15 kilometers, through vineyards, country roads, and picturesque views of the Rubicone territory, with a tasting stop upon return.
Organized by the Rubicone Eventi Association with the patronage of the Municipality of Savignano sul Rubicone, Savignano Wine is now one of the flagship events of the city's summer. An event that enhances the food and wine identity of Romagna and the deep bond between this corner of Emilia-Romagna, its land, and its wines.
The 2026 edition of Savignano Wine will be held on Friday, July 3rd, and Saturday, July 4th, in the historic center of Savignano sul Rubicone. The successful format is confirmed: over 40 Romagna wineries and artisan distillers along the tasting route, guided tastings by AIS Romagna with awards for the best Sangiovese, Albana, and Rebola, food stands and food trucks, itinerant shows, and live music in Piazza Borghesi.
