The widespread wine festival of the Val di Cornia, through the streets of the medieval village of Suvereto
About SUBER
SUBER, the wine of Suvereto in celebration
Every spring, the medieval village of Suvereto, in the heart of the Val di Cornia (Province of Livorno, Tuscany), transforms into a grand tasting trail. SUBER - Suvereto Wine Festival is a widespread festival that brings wine, oil, and local products into the streets, squares, and cloisters of one of the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy. The festival is organized by the Consorzio Tutela Vini Suvereto e Val di Cornia with the patronage of the Municipality of Suvereto, and is designed to appeal to a young and curious audience approaching wine without any pretension.
A designation looking to the future: the Suvereto DOCG
The oenological heart of the event is the new Suvereto DOCG, the designation that captures the identity of this corner of the Tuscan coast, where Sangiovese, Vermentino, and great international grape varieties find expressions of great character. During the festival, local wineries open their doors and offer their wines directly to the public, in a continuous dialogue between tradition and innovation.
What to do at SUBER
- Tastings at tasting counters and open-air wine bars set up in the gardens of the Consortium and in the symbolic places of the village.
- Masterclasses led by AIS and FISAR sommeliers, dedicated to the DOCG, Vermentino, and the different territories of Sangiovese.
- Show cooking and pairings with products from the Tuscan vegetable garden and extra virgin olive oil.
- Excursions through the vineyards: trekking, guided walks, and e-bike tours.
- Guided tours of the historic center and the Rocca Aldobrandesca, with costumed entertainment, archery, and street performances.
- Activities for families: kids' park, creative workshops, and games for the little ones.
A village to experience
Strolling through Suvereto during SUBER means crossing the Chiostro di San Francesco, Piazza Gramsci animated by talks with producers and experts, and the many wine bars and trattorias in the historic center that offer special menus paired with local wines for the occasion. The festival thus combines wine culture, the discovery of medieval heritage, and the typical hospitality of the Tuscan coast, just a few kilometers from the sea and the Montioni Park.
Why it's worth the trip
SUBER is not a simple fair: it is a way to experience an entire village by the glass, amidst tastings, music, excursions, and meetings with those who truly make the wine. An ideal appointment for those who love slow tourism, quality food and wine, and the landscapes of the Val di Cornia.
