Friends, on November 17, 2024, a fabulous wine festival will take place in Ovada! I am publishing a video and a post from last year's festival to remind myself and share this event with you: "#prolocal Traditional Wine and White Truffle Festival in Ovada! A wonderful example of great organization and promotion of local producers! Regional manufacturers took part, found new clients, met old friends, talked to competitors and restaurants that were also looking for new names for their establishments. For an ordinary visitor, it was just a wine festival, a lot of dry red wine and a holiday, of course :) We talked to producers: some young and ambitious just opened their winery, for most it has been a family business for more than 50, 70, 100 years. They squinted in the cold sun and talked about their great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers who had already inherited the wineries. They carefully rinsed our glasses with water to pour spumante and treated us to cookies. P.S. The entrance plastic glass cost 10 euros, more than 40 local winemakers were represented."
