Since 2006, every year for 4 days, the LOISIUM World of Wine has become a concert hall for chamber music and contemporary music. Literature and poetry do not miss out either and, as readings, have a fixed place in the LOISIARTE Festival. In addition to the great artists, it is above all the location that makes the event something very special. The venue is, firstly, the open-plan visitor centre of the World of Wine and, secondly, the underground Basilica in the walls of the cellar world. visit Loisiarte Website
