The Roverè Veronese festival dedicated to Lessinia's mushrooms and truffles, featuring gastronomy and a mycology exhibition
The Lessinia Mushrooms and Truffles Festival takes place in Roverè Veronese, in the province of Verona, on the Lessinia plateau. It is one of the most renowned 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.
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 is the mycology exhibition, which allows visitors to learn about the mushroom species of the area, and the Lessinia Golden Mushroom competition, an eagerly awaited event for enthusiasts.
The evenings are enlivened by live music, tribute bands, and DJ sets, transforming the square 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.
After the 33rd edition in 2025 (August 29-31), the Lessinia Mushrooms and Truffles Festival returns in 2026 with its 34th edition, expected between late August and the first days of September in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele in Roverè Veronese. The food stands featuring dishes made with Lessinia's mushrooms and truffles, the mycology exhibition, the Lessinia Golden Mushroom competition, and evenings of live music and DJ sets are confirmed. The detailed program will be published by the Pro Loco of Roverè Veronese.
