National Truffle and Local Products Fair
The White Truffle and the excellence of the Asti Monferrato
About Mombercelli Truffle Fair
A fair dedicated to the king of autumn
In the hillside village of Mombercelli, in the Province of Asti, the National Truffle and Local Products Fair is one of the most anticipated events of the Monferrato autumn. The heart of the event is the White Truffle (Tuber Magnatum Pico), known as the "king of the autumn table," celebrated alongside other local food and wine treasures: Monferrato wines, cheeses, Piedmont PGI hazelnuts, and traditional Piedmontese dishes.
The village and its territory
Mombercelli lies in the heart of the Vineyard Landscape of Piedmont: Langhe-Roero and Monferrato, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The fair highlights the bond between this exceptional product and the landscape that produces it: between tastings, visitors can join scenic walks through the vineyards and discover the famous Giant Bottle, a symbol of the town's winemaking heritage. This national-level event is twinned with other Italian "Truffle Cities," a testament to the prestige it has achieved over its forty-year history.
What to find at the fair
- Truffle and local products market: featuring professional truffle hunters (trifolao), producers, and artisans from the Asti Monferrato
- Food stalls run by local Pro Loco associations, serving traditional Piedmontese dishes
- Masterclasses and guided tastings of wines and sparkling wines, in collaboration with AIS Piemonte
- Exhibitions and cooking shows with special guests and the truffle as the star of the stage
- Truffle hunting demonstrations with trained dogs in the educational truffle ground
- Food and wine walks through the UNESCO vineyards
- Music and entertainment with live bands and evening events
Tradition and village festival
Beyond its gastronomic appeal, the Mombercelli Truffle Fair retains the soul of a traditional village festival: for an entire weekend, the historic squares—Piazza Vittorio Alfieri and Piazza Unione Europea above all—come alive with stalls, aromas, music, and crowds. It is a unique opportunity to discover the authentic face of the Asti Monferrato, away from the more crowded tourist routes but rich in flavor and tradition.
