Calici di Stelle 2026
From July 24 to August 16, enjoy a variety of events at wineries, in villages, and at tastings under the stars
Wine-loving Tuscany is getting ready to light up the summer with Calici di Stelle 2026, the annual event that brings enthusiasts and visitors together to discover the region’s most picturesque wineries, villages, and wine-growing landscapes. From July 24 to August 16, more than 50 events will take place throughout the region, featuring about thirty participating wineries and nine host municipalities, for a calendar of evenings dedicated to wine, camaraderie, and the magic of the summer skies.
Organized by the Movimento Turismo del Vino Toscana, in collaboration with member wineries and local governments, Calici di Stelle is one of the most anticipated events of the Italian wine tourism summer: an opportunity to experience wine not only through tasting but as an immersive experience that brings to life the region’s territories, stories, people, and landscapes.
From the Chianti hills to the coast, from historic villages to the Tuscan countryside, wineries will open their doors to offer visitors a rich program of events: tastings at sunset, walks through moonlit vineyards, dinners in the vineyards, meetings with producers, picnics, music, and opportunities for stargazing.
