Originally known as Festa del Vino (Wine Festival), this event has been a must-attend tradition for over 25 years, held at the end of July to celebrate the dedication and hard work of the members of Cantina dei Colli Ripani before the start of the new harvest season. In 2023, the event underwent a significant transformation, not only in its format but also in its name, becoming the Festa dei Colli Ripani (The Colli Ripani Festival). This shift marked the evolution from a celebration focused exclusively on wine to a broader celebration of the territory, with the aim of reinforcing the sense of belonging and connection with the local community.

The new format has enriched the program with a wide array of activities: circus performances, children’s entertainment, folkloric shows, DJ sets, live music, and food trucks offering the best of Marchigian and Italian cuisine. Guests can also enjoy cocktails made with Colli Ripani wines, turning the event into a vibrant celebration that engages all generations.
A distinctive element of the Festa is its visual storytelling, which changes every year. Each edition is entrusted to an illustrator with the task of interpreting the spirit of the event and the essence of Colli Ripani, translating them into a unique and iconic visual work.
In 2023, the visual was entrusted to Gianluca Folì, whose work took shape in a limited, numbered, and signed edition print. All proceeds from its sale were donated to the Italian Red Cross.

For the 2024 edition, the format was further enriched through a collaboration with FIUTO Art Space, a contemporary art gallery in Ripatransone, curated and directed by Alex Urso. This partnership led to the creation of the exhibition "338x10", a title that reflects the number of Colli Ripani's cooperative members (338) and the 10 artists and illustrators involved in the project. Each artist was invited to create an original artwork inspired by the spirit of the Festival and the Cantina, resulting in a unique collection of one-of-a-kind pieces.

The 10 original and signed works were showcased in an inaugural exhibition, curated by Alex Urso, and hosted by FIUTO Art Space for a month, officially launching the Colli Ripani Festival 2024. One of these artworks was selected as the official visual to represent the 2024 edition of the Festa. During the opening event, all the artworks were sold, and the entire proceeds were donated to the Croce Azzurra, a local association dedicated to healthcare and social assistance in the community.
The Festa dei Colli Ripani is more than just a festival. It is a moment of celebration, connection, and giving back. It reflects the essence of the territory, honors its key players, and pays tribute to those who work every day to nurture and sustain it.
