The black gold of the Vicentine mountains in Marana
Among the Vicentine Piccole Dolomiti, the hamlet of Marana, in the Municipality of Crespadoro in the province of Vicenza, cherishes a precious tradition: the harvesting of truffles, the "black gold" that has been part of the local gastronomic culture for centuries. The Festa del Tartufo di Marana pays homage to it every October, on a Sunday of celebration in the small mountain village.
The programme includes the competition and exhibition of local truffles, with awards for the best specimens, and an indoor food stand open all day. On the menu are the classics enhanced by black truffle: tagliatelle, risotto, polenta, and local cheeses, accompanied by local wines.
Alongside good food, the festival offers musical moments, such as performances by mountain choirs, which tell the alpine soul of this corner of the Vicenza region. Organized by the Pro Loco of Crespadoro, the Festa del Tartufo di Marana is an opportunity to discover an excellent product and an authentic territory.
The 2026 edition of the Festa del Tartufo di Marana di Crespadoro will be held in October in the hamlet of Marana, featuring the truffle competition and exhibition, the indoor food stand, and typical truffle dishes. The exact date has not yet been published.
The detailed 2026 program is not yet available. Based on recent editions, the day includes:
