Festa dei Funghi e del Tartufo della Lessinia

Mushrooms and truffles take centre stage in Lessinia

The Festa dei Funghi e del Tartufo della Lessinia takes place in Roverè Veronese, in the province of Verona, on the Lessinia plateau. It is one of the most well-known gastronomic festivals in the Verona mountain area, dedicated to the wild products of the woods: mushrooms and the prized truffles of Lessinia. The event is held in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele and is organized by the Pro Loco of Roverè Veronese.

Gastronomic stands and mycological exhibition

The heart of the festival are the food and wine stands, where mushrooms and truffles become the stars of traditional Lessinia dishes. Enriching the experience are the mycological exhibition, which allows visitors to learn about the mushroom species of the area, and the Fungo d'Oro della Lessinia competition, an eagerly awaited event for enthusiasts.

Music and celebration in the piazza

The evenings are enlivened by live music, tribute bands, and DJ sets, transforming the piazza into a meeting point for the community and visitors who come up to Lessinia. Sunday mornings are often dedicated to the market, while throughout the festival, the public can discover the authentic flavours of the Verona mountains.
