La Maddalena Archipelago – Travelling Festival

In May and June, in the La Maddalena Archipelago, two series of events mark the start of summer: ‘Vite e Vite. Encounters with Winemakers’ and ‘Giugno Slow Experiences’.

“Vite e Vite. Encounters with Winemakers” is a programme dedicated to artisanal wine: three days featuring over 30 wineries and more than 150 wines, including tasting sessions, masterclasses, conferences and entertainment. An opportunity to enjoy a food and wine journey in La Maddalena through tastings and direct interaction with producers.

"June Slow Experiences", on the other hand, brings together a series of unmissable encounters between La Maddalena and Caprera: guided excursions, nature experiences, meetings with fishermen and opportunities to discover the local area. A programme designed to help you experience the archipelago in a mindful way, through its landscape, history and communities.

The ‘Slow June’ activities will be enhanced by the participation of ‘Casa Slow Food Sardegna’, which brings together the island’s farms in a space dedicated to exhibitions, taste workshops and tastings, offering a journey through Sardinian biodiversity and agri-food traditions.
