The festival is especially attractive for travellers looking beyond Italy’s famous cities and coastal destinations. It creates an opportunity to explore smaller communities where traditions remain closely connected with everyday life.
Borgo diVino on Tour creates a complete food and wine journey rather than a simple tasting event. Visitors can follow dedicated tasting routes where wineries showcase their products and explain the stories behind their labels.

A visitor who only wants to enjoy the wine route can spend around €20 for tastings, while travellers combining the festival with a weekend stay in Calabria may spend more on hotels, restaurants and sightseeing.
