About Flavors of Autumn

When autumn paints the woods of Val Masino red and gold, the valley's restaurants, trattorias, and refuges offer special menus dedicated to seasonal products: it's Sapori d'Autunno, the food and wine event that celebrates mushrooms, game, and chestnuts over three themed weekends. Between traditional Valtellina dishes, guided walks with tasting stops, local wines, and grappas, it's the perfect opportunity to discover the mountain cuisine of the province of Sondrio, immersed in the nature of Val Masino.

Autumn on the table in Val Masino

Sapori d'Autunno is the food and wine event that enlivens Val Masino, in the province of Sondrio, in the heart of Valtellina, every autumn. For several weeks, the valley's restaurants, trattorias, and refuges offer special menus based on fresh local products, in a culinary journey that highlights mountain cuisine and authentic seasonal flavors.

Three weekends, three protagonists

The event is organized into three themed weekends, each dedicated to a symbolic product of the valley's autumn: mushrooms, game, and chestnuts. Each participating establishment creates its own offering around these ingredients, bringing to life dishes that tell the gastronomic tradition of Valtellina, from first courses to main courses and seasonal desserts.

Walks, tastings, and Valtellina wines

Alongside the restaurants' offerings, some Saturdays are dedicated to guided walks with tasting stops: routes through the valley's nature with stops to savor Valtellina wines and grappas and taste typical products. It's a way to combine the pleasure of the table with that of walking, immersed in the autumn landscapes of Val Masino. Sapori d'Autunno thus confirms itself as a beloved event for those seeking slow tourism, made of taste, nature, and tradition, at the gateway to the famous trails towards Sasso Remenno and the valley's refuges.
