Tortoreto Greendays

A widespread festival in the green heart of Tortoreto

Tortoreto Greendays is the summer event that tells the story of the agricultural and sustainable soul of Tortoreto, a town on the Teramo coast in Abruzzo, every year. Promoted by the Municipality of Tortoreto and the Department of Agriculture, the festival leaves the beach to head up towards the Teramo hills and the medieval village of Tortoreto Alto: a widespread festival that winds through the entire summer, from farm to farm, from olive grove to vineyard, with a slow rhythm made of listening and participation.

Not a single big event, but a mosaic of appointments distributed throughout the season, each designed to let you experience the territory as a protagonist rather than a mere spectator. This is the formula that has made Greendays a recognized model of integrated rural tourism in the province of Teramo.

Twenty-one experiences between land, taste, and culture

The 2026 program offers twenty-one experiences scheduled from June 10th to September 11th. The common thread is always the same: rediscovering contact with nature and those who work it. Among the recurring appointments you will find:

• Sunset Glasses and natural wine tastings in local wineries;
• Music and flavors in the olive grove, concerts at sunset among the olive trees;
• dairy workshops such as Caseus – The Art of Cheese;
• cycle tours like the Pedalo Storto along the Giro della Tortora;
• Laughter Yoga sessions and outdoor wellness moments.

The experiences take place at local farms – including Olio Monaco, La Pinciaia di Cavatassi, Tenuta Terraviva, and the Terra di Ea farmhouse – which open their doors to share the story of extra virgin olive oil, wine, and typical products of the Teramo hills.

The 2026 novelties: Steps in the Village and Cerasum

The 2026 edition introduces two major novelties. The first is Steps in the Village, four immersive walks designed to experience the historic center of Tortoreto Alto amidst alleys, views, and the town's memory. The second is Cerasum – Tortoreto Cerasuolo Festival (from July 4th to 6th), the major event dedicated to Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo, the region's most iconic rosé wine, featuring the "Oscar del Cerasuolo" contest and dozens of participating wineries in the village.

A territory awarded for sustainability

Greendays is the concrete expression of a path that has led Tortoreto to be awarded the FEE Green Flag (Spighe Verdi) for eight consecutive years, a recognition that rewards virtuous rural municipalities. Sustainability here is not a slogan but a direction of administration and growth based on the care of the rural landscape and collaboration between the public and private sectors. An opportunity to discover another side of the Abruzzo coast, slower and more authentic.
