Vignaioli in Masseria
The natural wine festival among the ancient olive trees of Masseria Spina in Monopoli
About Vignaioli in Masseria
Natural wine takes center stage in Puglia
Vignaioli in Masseria is one of the most anticipated events for natural wine enthusiasts in Southern Italy. The event takes place in the Masseria Spina Rural Park, an authentic example of Apulian rural architecture nestled in the plain of ancient olive trees, just outside the town of Monopoli, in the Province of Bari (Puglia). For two evenings, the masseria becomes a meeting point for independent winemakers, enthusiasts, and the curious, in an intimate and convivial atmosphere far from large commercial trade fairs.
Artisan winemakers from Italy and abroad
The heart of the festival is the tasting area, where you can engage directly with producers and enjoy unlimited tastings of hundreds of labels. Each year, over thirty artisan winemakers participate, hailing from Puglia and numerous Italian regions—Calabria, Campania, Piedmont, Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia—as well as wineries from France, Slovenia, and Germany. The common thread is a commitment to authentic production methods, respecting both the land and the grapes, without cellar intervention.
More than just wine: art, music, and landscape
Vignaioli in Masseria is about more than just tasting. The park hosts art installations, exhibitions, and experiential paths that interact with the monumental olive grove landscape. The evenings are accompanied by live performances and DJ sets that continue late into the night, creating a fusion of wine culture, contemporary art, and music.
A project rooted in the territory
The event was born from a desire to promote small producers and Apulian rural culture, highlighting Masseria Spina and its heritage of ancient olive trees and historic oil mills. Strolling through the rows of trees and the stone structures of the masseria, glass in hand, offers an immersive experience that blends flavors, stories, and landscapes.
