PerBacco! Harvest Festival

Thursday evening is a sort of preview of the festival, which kicks into high gear on Friday evening with the official opening. Saturday is enlivened by Bellinzona's famous traditional market, and in the afternoon, a grand tasting of regional wines takes place through the city streets. On Sunday, sumptuous aperitifs and folkloric parades close the event.

Throughout the event, unique in Ticino, numerous PerBacco! association wine bars will be open, offering the opportunity to sample a wide range of the region's wines, as well as several refreshment points where visitors can delve into the local culinary world.

Other scheduled events, such as the gentle grape pressing, distillation, and a cooper at work, welcome visitors, allowing them to experience the traditions of grape processing right through to its transformation into wine or spirits.

Throughout the six days, various musical groups will perform on the event's three stages or in traveling performances through the streets of the historic center.
