Mombandé
A gourmet walking tour blending flavor and history in the village of Mombasiglio
About Mombandé
Mombandé: a journey of taste and history in Mombasiglio
Mombandé is a gourmet walking tour held in Mombasiglio, a small town in the province of Cuneo, in the heart of the Piedmontese Monregalese. The event offers a day of conviviality where walking becomes the perfect excuse to explore the local area, its traditions, and its flavors. The route winds through the alleys of the historic village and along paths surrounded by woods, allowing participants to admire hidden corners and panoramic views of the surrounding hills.
A route marked by gourmet stops
The heart of Mombandé is the series of gourmet stops that accompany walkers from the beginning to the end of the trail. It starts with breakfast and continues with:
- a welcome aperitif;
- local appetizers;
- a main course;
- a tasting of local cheeses;
- desserts and a final coffee.
Each stop is designed to showcase typical local products and Piedmontese cuisine in an experience that weaves together gastronomy, landscape, and social connection.
Between archaeology, chapels, and Mombasiglio Castle
Walking the Mombandé trail means journeying through the history of the town. The route passes by an archaeological site, a rural chapel, and, most importantly, the imposing Mombasiglio Castle, which houses the Napoleonic Museum. Thanks to a partnership with the Mombasiglio Castle Foundation, visitors can tour the historic residence at a discounted rate during the event, adding a cultural dimension to the day.
A community celebration in the Cuneo area
Mombandé is organized by the Pro Loco of Mombasiglio with the support of the Fondazione CRC and in partnership with the Mombasiglio Castle Foundation. Launched in 2025, the event has attracted hundreds of visitors from across the province of Cuneo and beyond since its first edition, establishing itself as a highly anticipated date in the summer calendar of the Municipality of Mombasiglio and the Piedmont region. The walk concludes with entertainment and shows for children, highlighting the family-friendly nature of the event.
