What February feels like

February belongs to carnival. Mamoiada's sheepskin-clad Mamuthones stalk the streets, Oristano runs the horseback Sa Sartiglia, and half the island's villages stage something strange and wonderful. The weather swings between crisp blue days and proper Atlantic-style fronts, mimosa and almond trees flower, and the mountains often carry snow. Visit for folklore and food rather than the beach. In Gallura that means granite coves and the Costa Smeralda, with La Maddalena's islands offshore and the Vermentino hills behind.

What to do in Gallura in February

Vermentino country

Gallura grows Sardinia's only DOCG wine. Quiet cellar doors around Arzachena and Luogosanto make cool months taste better.

Museums and culture

Rainy-day insurance: archaeology museums, galleries and historic quarters that reward a slow indoor afternoon.

Eat like a local

Winter is the season of long lunches: roast suckling pig, fresh pasta, new olive oil and big island reds.

Festivals and folklore

Sardinia's most atmospheric traditions happen off-season, from carnival masks to village saints' days and bonfires.

Wine country

Cellar doors are quiet and winemakers have time to talk: the best months for Cannonau and Vermentino tastings.
