The harvest season is a tradition felt throughout the whole Italian territory where, starting from September, many cultural events revolve around the folklore of the wine harvesting.

Historical parades, exhibitions and wine tasting tours are just few of the many events attracting local, international tourists and wine lovers who will venture into the hills and the Italian countryside. Not only will they savor distinctive and authentic Italian products, but also they'll experience the enchantment of wine making and. most important, wine tasting.

The good news is that in September the prices of accommodation are usually lowered, so good food devotees can join and enjoy the grape harvesting events with greater convenience. You'll thus relish and certainly appreciate a holiday full of wondrous experiences, far from mass tourism yet advantageous. The rites and events related to wine making are a magnificent hundred years old tradition that renovates itself year after year.
