Wine Nights

Wine Nights in Fossacesia

Wine Nights is an evening dedicated by the Municipality of Fossacesia, in the province of Chieti, to wine culture and the gastronomic excellence of the Trabocchi Coast. The event takes place at the Teatro degli Ulivi, an open-air venue nestled among olive groves along Via Santa Maria, providing an ideal natural setting for a tasting under the stars in the heart of the Abruzzo summer.

A Journey Through Abruzzo Flavors

The event offers a sensory journey featuring guided tastings of local wines, stories about regional winemaking traditions, and live music. Alongside the wine glasses, guests can enjoy tastings of local products prepared by area chefs and artisans, creating pairings that highlight the authenticity of Abruzzo cuisine. The evening blends the pleasure of taste with the discovery of an agricultural heritage made of historic cellars and emerging young producers, all united by a commitment to quality and sustainability.

The National 'Città del Vino' Circuit

The Wine Nights of Fossacesia are part of the national circuit promoted by the Associazione Città del Vino, which brings numerous Italian villages to life in August with events dedicated to the relationship between wine, history, art, and the land. In Abruzzo, the initiative involves several municipalities in the province of Chieti, creating a network that showcases the oenological vocation of one of Italy's richest regions for native grape varieties, from Montepulciano d'Abruzzo to Trebbiano, Pecorino, and Passerina.

Between Tradition and Performance

Beyond the tastings, Wine Nights weaves the gastronomic experience with cultural moments: the evening has hosted theatrical shows and artistic performances designed for the audience gathered among the olive trees. It is a formula that makes the event not just a showcase for local production, but also an opportunity for meeting and rediscovering the identity of the territory, where wine becomes a symbol of community and belonging.

An Event of the Fossacesia Summer

Wine Nights is part of the rich summer calendar of the Municipality of Fossacesia, which offers dozens of events between June and October, spanning the sea, hills, and cultural sites. The setting of the Teatro degli Ulivi, combined with the proximity to the coast and the Abbey of San Giovanni in Venere, makes the evening an opportunity to discover one of the most evocative corners of the Adriatic Abruzzo.
