Warm weather and abundant sunshine stretch the swimming season through September. The Adriatic beaches are quiet and uncrowded, yet the waterfront restaurants still serve fresh seafood and rent lounge chairs and umbrellas. In the Sibillini mountains, wildflowers bloom, backdropped by a kaleidoscope of majestic trees changing colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>September also means the start of the&nbsp;<strong>grape harvest<\/strong>&nbsp;<em>(vendemmia)<\/em>&nbsp;season! Local wineries are busier than usual, but many of them invite visitors to watch their hard work, from hand-picking the grapes, de-stemming, crushing, to filling the large tanks. Some host wine dinners in the vines to celebrate when the harvest is done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.casapaceegioia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Grape-destemming-at-Podere-sul-Lago.jpg\" alt=\"De-stemming the grapes at Podere sul Lago winery\" class=\"wp-image-284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.casapaceegioia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Grape-destemming-at-Podere-sul-Lago.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.casapaceegioia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Grape-destemming-at-Podere-sul-Lago-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.casapaceegioia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Grape-destemming-at-Podere-sul-Lago-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption>De-stemming the grapes at Podere sul Lago winery<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In October, the temperatures drop but still reach the high seventies, and it\u2019s time for the&nbsp;<strong>olive harvest<\/strong>&nbsp;<em>(raccolta delle olive)<\/em>. When the olives are ripe, they are picked and brought to a&nbsp;<em>frantoio<\/em>&nbsp;for pressing into fabulous extra virgin olive oil. You can watch and taste the process by appointment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We fire up the wood-burning stove in November when the temperatures drop into the fifties and sixties. The Adriatic breeze keeps moisture in the air and here in central Italy, winters are typically mild. Nevertheless, we tuck into cozy restaurants and feast on seasonal wild boar with pappardelle, hearty lentil or chickpea soups, and a local favorite, fresh roasted chestnuts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Marchigiani celebrate fall\u2019s harvest and flavors with food festivals called\u00a0<em>sagre<\/em>. During these weekend-long festas, the historic center squares become an ever-changing scene with food and market stands; concerts and dancing; parades; street performers; competitions; children\u2019s events; and communal dinners. It\u2019s an opportunity for the community to celebrate the bounty of the harvest, to honor long traditions, and to gather together outdoors before winter.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a traveler, attending a&nbsp;<em>sagra<\/em>&nbsp;is an unforgettable and fun way to&nbsp;<strong>experience real Italy<\/strong>, to meet Italians, to try regional dishes, and live like a local.&nbsp;<em>Sagre<\/em>&nbsp;are held year-round, but they abound in the fall. Here are some of the most notable ones not far from Casa Pace e Gioia. Please note that many are postponed or scaled down in 2020 due to Covid. Mark your calendars for 2021. We are taking reservations and filling up fast.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.casapaceegioia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/39522376_2146849298921342_2661720503256875008_n.jpg\" alt=\"Festival del Vino Cotto Loro Piceno\" class=\"wp-image-285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.casapaceegioia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/39522376_2146849298921342_2661720503256875008_n.jpg 960w, https:\/\/blog.casapaceegioia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/39522376_2146849298921342_2661720503256875008_n-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.casapaceegioia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/39522376_2146849298921342_2661720503256875008_n-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.casapaceegioia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/39522376_2146849298921342_2661720503256875008_n-700x525.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption>Photo courtesy of Festival del Vino Cotto &#8211; Loro Piceno<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/FestivaldelvinocottoLoroPiceno\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>The Festival del Vino Cotto in Loro Piceno<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is at the end of August but it\u2019s one of my favorite\u00a0<em>sagre<\/em>.
