Moggio Profumi e Sapori d'Autunno
Chestnut roasting and tasting tours in the Valsassina village
About Profumi e Sapori d'Autunno
Moggio's Autumn
When the chestnuts ripen and the woods turn red, the village of Moggio, in the Province of Lecco, celebrates the season with Profumi e Sapori d'Autunno. Overlooking Valsassina and a popular destination for hikers heading to the Piani di Artavaggio, Moggio opens its streets to a food and wine festival that has marked the arrival of autumn for over twenty years.
The Chestnut Roast and Tasting Kit
The event typically spans two days. On Saturday afternoon, the classic chestnut roast kicks off, with roasted chestnuts, games, and entertainment for children. On Sunday morning, in Piazza Cavour, the tasting kit is distributed, allowing participants to follow a walking tour through the village's establishments: each stop offers a taste of Valsassina cuisine — soups, traditional dishes, mountain specialities — paired with wines from Italian cellars.
A Community Celebration
Organised by the Municipality of Moggio in collaboration with local entities, the festival involves the village's restaurants, inns, and shops, transforming the centre into a culinary itinerary. It's an opportunity to discover the most authentic Valsassina, far from the main tourist crowds, and to experience the hospitality of a mountain village that makes conviviality its distinctive feature.
Flavours of Valsassina
Among the tastings, you'll find products that tell the story of this corner of Lombardy: Valsassina cheeses, chestnuts from the woods, hot dishes perfect for the first cold days. All in a family atmosphere, with the backdrop of the Lecco mountains.
