Gin tastings, cocktails, and vibes in the ancient village of Ancarano
In the heart of the Val Vibrata, in the northernmost part of the province of Teramo, the small town of Ancarano hosts Un Borgo di Gin – Gin Tonic and Vibes, an event that transforms Largo Hengs and the streets of the ancient village into a journey dedicated to the culture of gin and mixology. The initiative is promoted by the Pro Loco Ancarano APS with the patronage of the Municipality of Ancarano.
The soul of the event is the appreciation of spirits and the culture of responsible drinking. Along the route, stalls offer gin tastings and gin and tonic cocktails, accompanied by food and wine offerings from the Abruzzo region. The format aims to combine conviviality, entertainment, and the promotion of local excellence, offering visitors an experience that blends taste and discovery.
In addition to the tastings, live music and DJ sets accompany the evenings, creating the vibrant atmosphere suggested by the subtitle "Gin Tonic and Vibes." The evenings unfold from late afternoon until late at night, enlivening the historic center with a rhythm designed especially for a young audience.
Alongside the evening program dedicated to adults, the schedule includes entertainment and activities for families and children, making the event accessible to a wide range of visitors. The organizers' stated goal is to combine the promotion of Ancarano's historical and cultural heritage with the pleasure of conviviality.
