Calici di stelle Euganei, the most anticipated event in the Euganean Hills

Summer in the Euganean Hills isn’t summer without “Calici di Stelle” . We’re hard at work preparing for the eighth edition, organized and managed by Strada del Vino Colli Euganei. For this edition, we’ve thought bigger and are moving to Monselice: a new location, but the atmosphere and friendly spirit that set us apart remain the same!

The event takes place on the evenings of July 31, August 1, and August 2! Why so early? Because we can’t wait to see you!

Wineries and Food at Calici di Stelle Euganei 2026

A total of 26 wineries will guide you through a tasting experience of local wines: this will be an opportunity to get to know Euganean wines up close, interact with the producers, and discover the stories behind each glass.

In addition to the wines, 8 food exhibitors will present a selection of dishes and products inspired by local traditions, crafted to enhance each pairing with an authentic and original touch.

Local producers will delight participants with culinary creations to satisfy every palate. The offerings over the three evenings range from classic risottos made with seasonal Euganean ingredients to the must-try Oca Burger, from seafood dishes to artisanal cheeses, from Veneto D.O.P. prosciutto to fried fish and desserts.

Throughout the three evenings, the tastings will be accompanied by live music, stargazing sessions with Padua’s amateur astronomy group, and tours of the San Paolo Museum and the Civic Tower.

Euganei Wine Glass Kit

The Euganei Wine Glass Kit costs €25 per person and includes: a glass, a glass holder, and 11 tokens (to be used as you wish for wine and food tastings).

Do you still have the wine glass and carrying pouch from previous editions? Bring them with you! When you check in at the cash registers with your kit and show it to our cashiers, you’ll receive a free token. This is our way of thanking those who have supported us for many years and of making an eco-friendlier choice together—by limiting the use of new materials and giving new life to those we already have.

You can also purchase individual tokens to top up your balance or to buy food items:

– 5 tokens for €10 (minimum purchase)

– 10 tokens for €20

Tokens can be purchased at the checkout counters located in Piazza Mazzini and on Via Argine Destro.

Your tokens can be put to new use! If you’re unable to use them all during the event, you can use them at future events or save them. From August through December 2026, they’ll be valid at the Calici di Stelle wineries, where you can meet our winemakers, enjoy the experience right at the winery, and receive a free gift. It’s a simple way to reduce waste and continue exploring our region.

Admission to Calici di Stelle in Monselice is free, and no advance reservation is required. To taste the wine and food at Calici Euganei, you must purchase event tokens; to taste the wines, you must have a wine glass (which can be purchased at the ticket counters).
