Festa della barbera di cortile in cortile

Place: Castagnole delle Lanze In the heart of the Piedmont hills, the village of Castagnole delle Lanze comes alive every year with the Festa della Barbera – Di Cortile in Cortile, a celebration that pays tribute to the local wine-making tradition and to the passion for Barbera wine. This event, now in its 46ª edition in 2026, is an unmissable appointment for lovers of good wine and Piedmont culture. During the festival, the village’s evocative historic courtyards open their doors to visitors, offering a unique food and wine route. Each courtyard hosts stalls where it is possible to taste Barbera d’Asti wine, accompanied by typical dishes of the local tradition. Culinary specialties range from starters such as carne cruda all’albese, to first courses such as agnolotti del plin, and then to main courses of meat braised in Barbera, all prepared according to recipes handed down from generation to generation. The festive atmosphere is enriched by musical performances and street artists’ shows that enliven the streets and squares of the historic center. Local music groups and DJ sets accompany the evenings, creating a convivial and engaging atmosphere
