Lessinia Mushrooms and Truffles Festival

Mushrooms and truffles take centre stage in Lessinia

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.

Food stands and mycology 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 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.

Music and festivities in the square

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.
