Bacco per Bacco
Time to the year
Autumn, Scented with New Wine
Bacco per Bacco begins when the light grows softer and the air fills with the scent of freshly harvested grapes. Autumn itself seems to call the celebration to life: the season of the grape harvest, roasted chestnuts and hands warmed around a glass of wine.
It is a time of transition, when the land gives back the fruits of a year’s work and invites us to slow down, share and raise a glass together.
What It Is
Bacco per Bacco is a food and wine festival that brings Turi’s historic centre to life, celebrating wine, local flavours and conviviality. The event combines tastings of local wines, traditional cuisine, music and opportunities to come together, transforming the streets of the old town into a vibrant setting for celebration, shared by the entire community.
It is a collective experience that showcases local produce and culinary heritage, placing the connection between the land, tradition and quality at its heart. Locals and visitors are invited to rediscover Turi through its flavours, rhythms and atmosphere, on a journey that brings together wine culture and the pleasure of sharing.
Returning each year as an occasion to meet, celebrate and take part, Bacco per Bacco strengthens the bond between the community, local identity and shared memory.
What It Means to the Community
A Shared Ritual, Not Just a Celebration
For Turi, Bacco per Bacco is much more than an event: it is an expression of local identity. It brings together families, producers, associations and volunteers. It tells the story of a community that recognises itself in its flavours, opening its streets and tables to others and transforming the historic centre into a shared space of connection and belonging.
The Festival Atmosphere
Warm Lights, Laughter and Aromas in the Air
As evening falls, the historic centre comes alive: soft lights, music accompanying every step, voices mingling with the clinking of glasses. The atmosphere is relaxed, authentic and vibrant. You wander slowly, stop along the way, taste, and chat with those preparing the food, pouring the wine and playing the music.
Rituals and Symbolic Moments
Fire, Wine and Coming Together
Chestnuts crackling over the fire, the first sip of Primitivo wine, food shared in the streets: simple gestures that become rituals. Bacco per Bacco is shaped by simple yet powerful symbols, evoking the age-old bond between people, the land and the seasons.
Flavours and Culinary Traditions
Food as Living Memory
Panzerotti, trònere, caciocavallo impiccato, grilled meats, roasted chestnuts and local specialities. Every taste tells a story, every aroma evokes a cuisine shaped by traditions passed down through generations, familiar flavours and unfiltered authenticity.
Who It Is For
For Those Who Want to Experience a Place, Not Just Visit It
The Festival is for everyone: families, groups of friends, curious travellers, wine lovers and those who appreciate traditional cuisine. It is ideal for anyone seeking genuine experiences, for those who want to feel a town come alive rather than simply observe it.
