Opening with a live concert tonight at 8.45pm at Auditorium Zotti, with a tribute band covering famous Italian rocker Ligabue's most famous songs. And all the weekend will be full of events, from wine tastings to art exhibitions and more live music.
Ribolla Gialla and local food at every corner
All over the weekend, during the Ribolla Gialla Wine Festival, food stalls will be scattered in the town centre for visitors to enjoy local delicacies, while of course tasting some Ribolla Gialla glasses by local producers who will open their wineries for everyone, especially for wine tourists.
On Saturday, the “Notte Gialla” will feature the concert by “Why Not” band at 8.30pm in piazza del Popolo, followed by “Indie Power” dj set at 9.30pm in Corte del Castello. Meanwhile, at Parco Rota at 9pm renowned TV comedian Stefano Chiodaroli will perform his show “Breaking Bread”.
Wine, music and... culture. Pordenone Legge set up two meetings with authors in piazza del Popolo: one with Dario Vergassola, comedina and writer, on Saturday 1st June at 6pm and one with Maurizio De Giovanni on Sunday 2nd June, at 4pm.
In addition, there'll be two conferences: on Saturday, at 10.30am, a meeting focused on Ribolla Gialla wine for winelovers and food and wine lovers, then on Sunday “Storie di donne” (women's tales) at 10am, both to be held at Antico Teatro Sociale Arrigoni.
But for real wine lovers, the main events will be two masterclasses on Ribolla Gialla, on Sunday, at the Antico Ospedale dei Battutti (at 11am and 5pm) by wine experts and sommeliers.
Plus, many art exhibitions around town and local artisans' stalls in the town centre – alongside the food ones – will give visitors an extra taste to their tour.
Besides, tourists will sure get a help from the recently launched app Bippo: download it for free, and once you put on the Bluetooth on your mobile, you'll be able to know everything about the festival, about San Vito al Tagliamento and all its main tourist, historical attractions.
