Ready to raise a glass? In Cerreto d’Esi, grapes are not just harvested—they are celebrated! Every year, this charming village in the province of Ancona comes alive with the Grape Festival, an event that brings together wine, local cuisine, music, traditions and the joy of spending time together. It’s the perfect excuse to plan a short getaway in the Marche region, especially if you want to combine the festival with the sea, relaxation and a few excursions to discover the surrounding area. The ideal solution? Stay at Hotel CasaDei in Fano, right by the sea and just a short distance from the town center, so you can have everything within easy reach.
The Grape Festival returns to Cerreto d’Esi every September. The 2026 edition is scheduled from September 17 to 20. Four days to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of one of the most charming villages in the Ancona hinterland, with lively streets, music, performances and irresistible aromas. The festival has a long history: it was first held in 1929 and, with almost a century of tradition, it is one of the longest-running harvest celebrations in the Marche region.
When you hear “Grape Festival”, you naturally think of wine. In Cerreto d’Esi, however, the real star is everything that revolves around it. The area is closely linked to the production of Verdicchio di Matelica, one of the finest wines of the Marche region, and the festival offers a joyful and authentic way to discover its history, culture and traditions. Regional tourism authorities also recognize Verdicchio and Vernaccia Cerretana as local excellences and identify the Grape Festival as the town’s most important annual event.
The wineries, the true protagonists of the festival, open their doors to visitors for tastings and traditional local dishes. Over the years, the event has also featured craft markets, live performances, concerts, children's entertainment and initiatives dedicated to wine culture. In short, there is one keyword here: conviviality.
The Grape Festival is exactly the kind of event that appeals to both adults and children. You don’t need to be a wine expert to enjoy it: simply soak up the atmosphere, stroll through the village streets, browse the market stalls and taste some local specialties. Recent editions have confirmed a program designed for a wide audience, with music, shows, traditional cuisine and activities suitable for all generations.
And after a day spent among hills, local flavors and village festivities, what could be better than returning to the sea? Even better if you stay at Hotel CasaDei in Fano. Open from May to September, it is the perfect choice for those who want to combine the discovery of Marche’s events with the relaxation of a seaside holiday. One of its greatest strengths is its location: our hotel is directly on the beach while also being very close to the center of Fano. A particularly convenient combination, especially for families with children.
Because a holiday in the Marche region doesn’t have to choose between the sea, culture and entertainment—it can have it all. From the comfort of Hotel CasaDei, you can set off to discover Cerreto d’Esi and many other events across the region, then return to Fano to enjoy a stroll along the promenade, relax or spend another day on the beach.
