August in Sardinia. The scent of myrtle and sea breeze. Deep techno rhythms float above the vines as the sun begins to set. Vineyard Music Experience is a festival that blends electronic music, natural beauty, and the timeless rhythm of the Sardinian landscape.
The festival at a glance
Vineyard Music Experience (VME) is a three-day festival taking place from August 11–13, 2025, in northern Sardinia — specifically at Locanda in Vigna, a small vineyard nestled between Arzachena and Palau in the Gallura region. The event invites visitors into a sensory experience where music, wine landscapes, and nature combine to create an intimate and elegant atmosphere.
Line-up: House and techno among the vines
The musical profile is carefully curated with a mix of international and Italian DJs in the house and techno scene:
August 11: Adiel, Sama’ Abdulhadi, Iride, GNMR
August 12: Francesco Del Garda, Quest, Karnak on Acid, Fabrizio Sala, Cole
August 13: Gerd Janson, Tiga, Mano Le Tough, Romano Alfieri, Speaking Minds, Philipp
It’s a line-up for those who seek quality sound in a relaxed, nature-connected setting — far from oversized arenas.
A place for the senses
Locanda in Vigna is a rural vineyard retreat surrounded by granite-rich soils, lush vines, and Mediterranean aromas. The estate is known for producing Vermentino di Gallura wines as well as reds made from Cannonau, Carignano, and Bovale grapes. With boutique accommodation, a wine tasting room, gardens, and proximity to both beaches and Bronze Age heritage sites, the location invites both movement and stillness.
Wine in focus – subtly present
Although the festival takes place at an active vineyard, no official wine tastings are announced in the program. Still, wine is ever-present — through the setting, the atmosphere, and the local food and drink offerings. The surrounding vineyard landscape provides a natural frame for the entire experience.
Why Vineyard Music Experience inspires
This is a festival for those seeking more than just a line-up. A full experience where music meets landscape, design, and presence. VME offers a new resonance for electronic music, shaped by vines, granite terrain, and Sardinia’s golden evening light.
