Practical tips

• Getting around: expect heavier traffic to coastal and village locations during the long weekend; allow extra travel time.
• Tickets and schedules: many events are free, but certain tastings, guided tours or competitions may require advance booking or tickets—check details in advance.
• Families: numerous events include workshops and activities for children—consult event listings for family-friendly slots.
• Clothing: bring layered clothing and a rainproof garment: April weather can change quickly, especially inland and in the hills.

This spring weekend offers a wide range of choices, from traditional village fairs to vintage markets and sporting events. Pick your favourites and plan a route that visits coastal stretches, historic villas and village squares.
