DiVino Festival — Castelbuono: Dates & Info

Three days of wine masterclasses, awards and open tastings, with more than 700 labels poured in the cloister of San Francesco. Castelbuono has run its festival of wine and taste since 2007.

Founded in 2007, the DiVino Festival reached its twentieth edition in 2026, held June 19-21. The centerpiece is the Salone del DiVino in the San Francesco cloister, where some 200 wineries from Italy and the rest of Europe pour over 700 labels in walk-around tastings, alongside masterclasses led by enologists and sommeliers.

On Saturday night, Piazza Castello hosts the Gusto DiVino awards for figures from food, wine and culture — the 2026 honorees included Michelin-starred chef Cristiano Tomei and Slow Food — plus free concerts. The festival is organized by the town council with the Baz'art Sicilia association.
