Vinalia

The 2025 edition of Vinalia, the thirty-second, was held from August 4th to 10th, 2025, in the historic center of Guardia Sanframondi, choosing the theme 'Spes contra spem' (Hope against hope), the hope that persists even against all odds. The Taste Trail brought together thirteen Sannio producers, including La Guardiense, Cantine Tora, and Cantine Foschini, alongside stalls of cured meats, cheeses, honey, artisanal gelato, and desserts.

The cultural program included VinArte exhibitions — painting, sculpture, photography, and installations spread throughout the village — and book presentations such as 'Restare vivi' by Valentina Barile and 'Il prete ebreo' by Mariastella Elsenberg. Chefs Raffaele Parisi, Domenico Altieri, and Biagio Federico took turns in the showcooking events hosted at the medieval Castle.

Regarding music, Piazza Mercato hosted the band Zetakam, the folk music of Sine Frontera, and DJ sets, including one by Niky Pacelli with the voice of Antonio Coletta; in Piazza Fabio Golino, the Gianni Cipullo trio and the jazz group Trip 4et performed. The finale on August 9th and 10th was dedicated to Calici di Stelle and the Falanghina White Night, with the midnight toast in Piazza Mercato. The event, promoted by the Viticulturists' Circle and organized by the Vinalia Committee with the patronage of the Campania Region, the Province of Benevento, and the Municipality of Guardia Sanframondi, closed with record numbers.
