At Il Vigno, nestled in the heart of this enchanting landscape, we invite you to experience the magic of Tuscany’s chestnut harvest with our exclusive Chestnut Harvest & Culinary Escape Package.

As summer slowly fades and the golden hues of autumn settle over the Tuscan hills, Caprese Michelangelo comes alive with a very special celebration – the Festa del Marrone, or Chestnut Festival.

Discover the Charm of the Chestnut Festival

Every October, the streets of Caprese Michelangelo fill with the warm, inviting aroma of roasting chestnuts. This beloved festival honors the local tradition of chestnut gathering – a centuries-old practice that celebrates the bounty of the Tuscan forest.

Visitors from near and far come to enjoy:

Roasted chestnuts served fresh from the fire
Mulled wine and other seasonal delights
Live music and community celebrations
Artisan stalls offering local crafts and treats

The festival is a feast for the senses and a window into the rich culture and history of this beautiful region.
