Special opening of the Fort of Vinadio

Special opening

Vinadio is gearing up for a festive weekend celebrating local traditions, agriculture and the finest food and wine of the Maritime Alps. Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., the alpine village will host the long-standing event featuring the 170th Fair of the Saints, alongside the prestigious achievement of the 40th Sambucana Sheep Show.

The event is a key occasion for the community and for promoting the Stura Valley. The Sambucana sheep breed, a rural heritage and a vital resource for the area, will be the undisputed star of the two-day event, featuring exhibitions, competitions and opportunities to discover first-hand the characteristics of these animals and the products derived from them, starting with their highly prized meat and wool.

Alongside the livestock show, visitors will find a bustling market with stalls selling traditional handicrafts, alpine cheeses, cured meats and local culinary specialities. The event will be open continuously from 10.00 to 19.00, allowing families, tourists and enthusiasts to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of one of the oldest and most popular Alpine fairs in the province.
