Lo sapevi che...?
IN ITALY, EVEN THE FOUNTAINS POUR W**E! And no, I didn’t make this up! 😂
Imagine walking through the beautiful countryside of Abruzzo, feeling thirsty, and finding a fountain that pours FREE RED W**E instead of water! and not just a normal w**e... it is MONTEPULCIANO
It is called la *Fontana del Vino* in Caldari di Ortona, Abruzzo, that is where your dreams of a never-ending aperitivo almost come true!
But wait… there's a story behind this little Italian miracle. ❤️
Back in 2016, two passionate walkers from Ortona, were travelling along the famous Camino de Santiago in Spain when they discovered a fountain serving w**e to pilgrims. They loved the idea so much that they decided to bring it home to Abruzzo.
With the help of the Dora Sarchese w**ery, their dream became reality, creating a special stop along the *Cammino di San Tommaso* — a pilgrimage route connecting Rome to Ortona, where the relics of Saint Thomas the Apostle are kept.
The idea wasn't simply to give tourists another reason to visit. It was about Italian hospitality: welcoming pilgrims, sharing a taste of the local land, and reminding everyone that sometimes the best things in life are meant to be shared.
and YES, I said it runs 24/7 BUT it's located at the w**ery, so it is only available to the public during its opening hours. So, no sneaking in at midnight for a cheeky glass! 😂
Now that you know it...would you add this to your Italian bucket list?👇
