Every September, the rolling hills of Franciacorta come alive with one of Italy’s most beloved wine events: the Festival Franciacorta in Cantina. In 2025, the festival will be even more special, celebrating 35 years of the Consorzio Franciacorta, the association that protects and promotes this world-famous sparkling wine.
From 19 to 21 September 2025, wineries across the region open their doors for a weekend of tastings, vineyard walks, cellar tours, food pairings, and cultural experiences. It’s the perfect chance to discover what makes Franciacorta unique: a land where tradition and innovation meet, overlooking the blue waters of Lake Iseo.
