Autumn Delights

A market that smells of autumn

Autumn Delights is the event that, with the arrival of the most golden season of the year, transforms Piazza Cesare Battisti in Silvano d'Orba into a lively open-air market. Stalls featuring local products, seasonal specialties, crafts, and hobbyist creations are set up in the town center, making it the perfect day for a leisurely stroll, tasting local treats, and taking home a piece of Monferrato.

Silvano d'Orba and the Alto Monferrato

The municipality of Silvano d'Orba is located in the Alto Monferrato, in the province of Alessandria, Piedmont, just a few kilometers from Ovada. It is a land of hills, vineyards, and historic cellars, famous for local wines such as Dolcetto di Ovada and a strong tradition of village festivals and fairs. Here, autumn is the season of the grape harvest, chestnuts, and the fruits of the earth: the ideal time for a market that showcases the gastronomic identity of the village.

What to expect

• Stalls with local products and seasonal food and wine specialties;
• Exhibitors of crafts and local hobbyist creations;
• A convivial atmosphere in the heart of the historic center of Silvano d'Orba;
• The opportunity to discover the flavors of the Alto Monferrato in a single day.

An autumn full of events

Autumn Delights is part of a particularly lively autumn calendar in Silvano d'Orba, which also includes the traditional chestnut festival and the opening of the historic Gualco Distillery. Together, these events make the town a pleasant destination for those who love food and wine, folk traditions, and village markets in Piedmont.
