About Cascinando

In Malegno, Valle Camonica, Cascinando is the gastronomic walk that combines taste, nature, and tradition. From Piazza Zaccaria Casari, the route winds through the external paths of the town and the 'bait' of the hamlets, with about ten stops to taste casoncelli, polenta with mushrooms, cheeses, bread, strinù, and the particular artichoke liqueur of Malegno. A day to discover the authentic flavors of the Brescia mountains by walking.

Walking and Tasting

Cascinando is the itinerant food and wine event of Malegno (Province of Brescia), in Valle Camonica. The format is that of a gastronomic walk: it starts from Piazza Zaccaria Casari and follows a route through the external paths of the town and the characteristic bait (mountain huts) of the hamlets, with about ten stops to taste.

Flavors of Valle Camonica

Each stop offers a specialty of local tradition: casoncelli, polenta with mushrooms, cheeses, bread, strinù (Brescia-style sausage grilled over embers), and to finish, the particular artichoke liqueur from Malegno, born from a collaboration between the Municipality and the academic world. A journey of taste that tells the gastronomic identity of the valley, step by step.

Between Nature and Community

Cascinando is organized by the Associazione E20 Malegno with the patronage of the Municipality. More than just a festival, it is an experience that combines the conviviality of the table with the beauty of the Camonica landscape: the dirt paths, the woods, and the views of the hamlets provide the backdrop for a day of celebration that involves the entire community and attracts visitors from all over Valle Camonica.
