Overview
The most anticipated event of the wine tourism summer is just around the corner. Calici di Stelle is back the event organized by Movimento Turismo del Vino that brings August nights to life each year by transforming participating wineries and towns into true stages of flavor, tradition, and emotion. Imagine sharing a fine glass of wine, from sunset until late at night, walking among the vineyards, listening to good music, and gazing at the sky at Calici di Stelle, you can. And this year, it’s an even more special edition. For the first time, the wineries’ wines will be paired with the best of pizza napoletana thanks to a collaboration with the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana.
Throughout the event, the wineries of the Movimento will host AVPN master pizzaioli from their local area to celebrate this authentically Italian pairing: wine and pizza, two icons of our tables, known and loved all over the world and, at the same time, two great examples of Made in Italy excellence. This meeting will come to life through guided tastings, show cooking, dinners under the stars, pairing games and workshops, while observing the pizzaioli at work and being guided in tasting by the producers’ storytelling.
To make the experience even more engaging, the wineries will organize immersive and constantly evolving activities designed to involve wine tourists, families, nature lovers, sports enthusiasts, and international visitors alike. At Calici di Stelle, tasting experiences happen among the rows of vines with vineyard picnics, sunset aperitifs accompanied by live music and group dancing. Outdoor activities will also abound, such as meditative walks at sunset, vineyard trekking, treasure hunts, archery tournaments, and games for the whole family. There will also be artisan markets, magic shows, photo safaris, and the unmissable stargazing events with experts from the Unione Astrofili Italiani, to rediscover the ancient connection between the constellations and agricultural life, letting your gaze get lost in the starry sky.
On this occasion as well, Movimento Turismo del Vino promotes responsible drinking, renewing its partnership with Wine in Moderation, with special attention to young people to encourage a healthy wine culture based on care and moderation. But Calici di Stelle is also about having fun, enjoying time together, and creating memorable moments: introducing the social media game “Stasera mi sento…”, an invitation to share the emotions of the evening with the wine lover community by posting a photo of the wine tasted and a brief thought about the experience. Calici di Stelle is a chance to rediscover the true Italian summer through authentic flavors, stories, and ancient traditions to celebrate raising a glass together under the stars.
