Autumn in Montecatini Terme and in Valdinievole is a perfect time to live with your friends and family: spa, Pinocchio Park, the magic of Leonardo’s science, thousands of migrating birds in the Padule marshlands... and new tastes.

October is the month of the little Sorana Bean, of the typical docg wine of Valdinievole, of the last checks of the olive groves, of the chestnuts, of the mushrooms and juicy wooden fruits. 

But, October is mostly the month of the national kermesse titled “Montecatini Terme: food & culture”, that including a variety of food-related events, in collaboration with Slow Food and Agra Editore. 

Starting from 13^th October with the “Food & Book Festival” when a number of food-inspired books are being presented or read in public, and many important Italian writers are invited to take public talks.

More exciting activities on Saturday 14^th October, when the most wanted 2018 guide for Slow Wines is presented at the Teatro Verdi, followed by one of the biggest Wine Tasting in Italy, taking place in the incredible Tettuccio Spa Building.
