Island-wide: Marsala, Ragusa, Noto, Taorminaannual, 10 August (Notte di San Lorenzo, the Perseids meteor shower)1 evening

Calici di Stelle is a national Italian wine event held on the night of San Lorenzo, when the Perseids meteor shower peaks. Across Sicily, participating towns open piazzas, city walls and hilltop esplanades for outdoor by-the-glass tastings under the stars. In Sicily the event is active in Marsala, Ragusa, Noto and Taormina, with local producers pouring alongside meteor-watching.

Tip: The Marsala Calici di Stelle focuses on fortified and oxidative styles suited to warm evenings. Noto leans into Nero d'Avola and Moscato di Noto. Taormina's clifftop location makes for the most atmospheric setting on the island.
