Wine Festival of Grumento
Glasses and peasant tradition in the village of Val d'Agri
About Wine Festival of Grumento
The wine of Val d'Agri celebrates
In Grumento Nova, a village in the province of Potenza in the heart of Val d'Agri, the Wine Festival is a traditional late-summer event. It takes place every year on the last Thursday of August and celebrates the peasant and wine-growing culture of the area, with wine and typical Lucanian product tastings in the alleys of the historic center.
An evening of taste and community
Stalls and stands liven up the town with the flavors of local tradition, accompanied by music and moments of conviviality that attract residents, vacationers, and expatriates returning for the summer. The festival ideally kicks off the week of the grand patronal celebrations in honor of the Madonna di Monserrato, which culminate on the last Sunday of the month.
Between archaeology and nature
Experiencing Grumento Nova during these days means combining the pleasure of food and wine with the discovery of a village with a strong identity, the guardian of the archaeological area of ancient Grumentum and overlooking the National Park of the Lucanian Apennines Val d'Agri Lagonegrese.
