Vinalia 2026: the La Guardiense experience

The 33rd Vinalia festival took place in Guardia Sanframondi from 4 to 10 August 2026, combining wine, culture and local food. La Guardiense organized two complementary programmes.

At the Janare–La Guardiense bistro in Piazza Castello, the theme changed nightly across Alfabeto, Territorio and its crus, Anima Lavica, Axis Orbis, the vegan PassoNuovo range, Spumanti Cru and Q. Each tasting was paired with food intended to complement the selected wines.

The cooperative also offered free guided visits to its production spaces. The programme introduced work in the vineyards and cellar and included thematic tastings devoted to Janare crus, different expressions of Falanghina, PassoNuovo and other selections. The event presented wine as a meeting point for the people, traditions and agricultural identity of Sannio.
