Festa della Vendemmia
A September harvest festival in the heart of Canelli — food and wine stalls, folk music and dancing, old-crafts demonstrations and the traditional "cantè j'euv" through the piazzas.
Why it's special
It marks the moment the whole hill town lives for — the grape harvest — with local bands, dance schools, harvest-themed workshops and enogastronomic stands of the territory's own products, right in the centre.

- Come in the evening for the music and dancing in Piazza Cavour; the Sunday daytime programme is best for families, with readings, workshops and craft demonstrations.
Autumn in Canelli belongs to the grape. The Festa della Vendemmia turns the harvest into a town party: enogastronomic stalls of local produce along the streets, folk music and dancing under the stars, and demonstrations of old country crafts.
Sunday is the fuller day — the town band, dance schools, harvest-themed workshops and readings, and the traditional cantè j'euv wandering the squares. A warm, local way to mark the season in the village that lives on wine.
