When: September (check edition)
From 2026 the edition moved back to September (e.g. 5 September 2026, 39th edition). In past years it could fall in late June / early July. Always confirm on Visit Orsara / local announcements.
When Orsara hosts the Wine Festival (usually in September), the village becomes a path of cellars, tables and slow walks. Ideal if you want food and wine without an isolated resort — you walk home after the evening.
What to expect
Tastings, local producers and a village-festa mood (GEO — Orsara food-and-wine gallery). The value is human scale: you meet the town while you taste. Programme and tickets depend on the edition.
Why stay in the historic centre
After wine you should not drive. The Princess Stable is in Palazzo Varo: handy for dinners, walks and a late return. Book event nights early.
How to combine the trip
Pair the festa with a day in the Monti Dauni or Orsara food and culture. For availability: quote form on the Stable page.
Practical booking tips
- Confirm whether this year’s edition is on (month: September).
- If you drink, stay on foot: centre = Stable.
- Book 2 nights if you want a slow day after.
