Castelvenere

Castelvenere is a village nestled in the green heart of Sannio, surrounded by vineyards and natural springs. With 750 hectares of vineyards, it holds the title of Italy’s most vineyarded municipality—a record that speaks of a deep agricultural tradition. Here, viticulture is a way of life: local wineries, often dug into the tuff rock, hold barrels and family stories, while rows of Falanghina, Aglianico, and Barbera del Sannio draw elegant lines across the landscape.
The historic center is peaceful and authentic, brought to life by events that celebrate wine and conviviality. The most renowned is the Wine Festival, which every summer transforms the streets into a lively path of taste, music, and gathering. The village is also known for its thermal waters, once appreciated for their healing properties and now a relaxing escape surrounded by nature. Castelvenere is a place that smells like harvest season, where identity is shaped by the land, by slowness, and by the quality of everyday life. It’s the perfect destination for those seeking a Sannio rich in true flavors, fertile silences, and heartfelt hospitality.
