19th Edition
Rapolano Terme. Siena. Tuscany
Villaggio della Birra 2025
The door to the Villaggio has opened.
And it does so with the dreamlike and symbolic art of Wildner Lima, a Brazilian artist who has transformed the mysterious, human, and magical spirit of Villaggio della Birra into imagery.
Villaggio della Birra is a collective ritual. It is a door that opens – in Rapolano Terme, between the hills and springs – where every beer tells a story, every encounter remains, and every glance ignites.
From September 5 to 7, 2025, one of Europe's most beloved beer festivals returns.

Il Festival
Since 2006, the Villaggio della Birra has been Italy’s longest-running craft beer festival, celebrating artisanal brewing with a unique blend of tradition and innovation. Set in the scenic Tuscan town of Rapolano Terme, the festival brings together beer lovers and brewers from around the world. Villaggio della Birra is a community that has been building bridges between brewers from all over the world for nearly twenty years.
It does so through a festival that is a joyful celebration—an occasion for discovery, sharing, and growth, marked by friendship and a passion for craft beer.

Craft beer friends
"Come ogni altra cosa nel mondo della birra, i festival variano nelle loro origini, scopi e tradizioni. Non siamo presi da quelli in cui le persone sobrie guadagnano sugli ubriachi, preferendo gli eventi in cui l'obiettivo è imparare oltre che divertirsi."
WORLD ATLAS OF BEER
Stephen Beaumont
"Festival of life and beers. Between the Chianti and Brunello wine-growing areas, near the Tuscan hill town of Buonconvento, north of Siena, this tiny village’s only café stocks 100-plus Belgian and Italian microbrews year-round and annually hosts a gathering of craft brewers and their families. Bizarre, endearing and thoroughly enjoyable."

"Il perchè venire? Ma io ribalto la domanda..come si fa a non venire!!!"
