DiVino Festival 2026: Viticultural excellence in the heart of the Madonie

The natural stage of Castelbuono

From June 19th to 21st, 2026, the medieval village of Castelbuono becomes the hub of Sicilian oenological culture. Located within the Madonie Park, the town offers a setting of rare charm, dominated by the silhouette of the Ventimiglia Castle, an ancient noble residence that synthesizes elements of Arab, Norman, and Swabian architecture. This historical context provides the ideal backdrop for an event aimed at combining the prestige of regional vineyards with the protection of territorial identity.

The program and regional excellence

The nineteenth edition of the DiVino Festival offers a three-day journey aimed at discovering local viticultural specifics. The beating heart of the event is the Salone del DiVino, an exhibition area designed to foster direct encounters between producers and enthusiasts. Here, the public has the opportunity to deepen their understanding of the wines on tasting, through a story that starts from the soil and reaches the glass, enhancing indigenous varieties and contemporary winemaking techniques.

The cultural offering is enriched by a dense calendar of masterclasses and thematic meetings, aimed at an audience wishing for a conscious approach to the world of oenology. The variety of the proposal is guaranteed by the participation of prominent figures in the Italian cultural landscape: singer-songwriter Morgan, journalist Michele Serra, and television host Marino Bartoletti are expected. Their contribution offers a multidisciplinary perspective, linking wine to the languages of music, writing, and journalistic narrative.

A multidisciplinary approach to taste

The festival is configured not only as a commercial exhibition but as a moment of synthesis between food, wine, and entertainment. The guided tastings allow for a rigorous analysis of the organoleptic peculiarities of the presented wines, while the evening events transform the squares of Castelbuono into open stages. The event thus confirms its vocation: to promote quality through a constant dialogue between industry experts, artisans of taste, and a public curious to explore the evolutions of the Sicilian wine scene.

Logistical information

The event will take place entirely in the historic center of Castelbuono. Details regarding ticket costs, access methods to individual masterclasses, and schedules for tasting sessions are available through the organization's official channels. Advance booking is recommended for limited-seating activities, thus ensuring optimal participation in meetings with guests and technical in-depth sessions.
