About Mangia e Cammina San Chiaffredo
Mangia e Cammina of San Chiaffredo
The Mangia e Cammina of San Chiaffredo is a gourmet walking tour that takes place in the hamlet of San Chiaffredo, a small agricultural village shared by the municipalities of Busca and Tarantasca, in the heart of the Cuneo plains in Piedmont. Organized by the local Pro Loco with the support of local ACLI branches, the event has become one of the most anticipated spring traditions in the area, attracting hundreds of walkers from across the province of Cuneo.
How the walk works
The format is that of a multi-course gastronomic stroll: participants start in groups at regular intervals, following a loop that winds through the farmsteads and countryside of the hamlet. Along the way, there are six tasting stops, each dedicated to a specific course: appetizer, first course, sorbet, main course, dessert, and a final coffee. The menu highlights traditional Piedmontese products and cuisine, all enjoyed in a relaxed, convivial atmosphere among the fields.
A constantly evolving event
Born from the former SanciaCammina, the Mangia e Cammina has successfully reinvented itself while preserving its community spirit. The daytime edition covers a route of about seven kilometers, ending in Piazza Don Demaria, while the more recent version introduced an evening format on a shorter loop, followed by live music at the local sports field. The massive success, with tickets selling out in just a few hours, confirms how deeply rooted this event is in the local territory.
A chance to discover the area
Beyond the excellent food, the Mangia e Cammina is a way to discover an authentic corner of the Cuneo region: the farmsteads, country lanes, and the life of a small hamlet that, for a day, turns into one large open-air dining room. It is a family-friendly event, with menus designed for children, and serves as a wonderful example of how local culinary traditions and community associations can create authentic, engaging celebrations.
