Sagra dei Funghi di Bema

The porcino mushroom festival in Bema

The Sagra dei Funghi di Bema is the gastronomic event that every September enlivens the small village of Bema, in the province of Sondrio, nestled in the Parco delle Orobie Valtellinesi. The absolute star is the porcino mushroom, celebrated with traditional local dishes.

The flavours of Valtellina

The stalls offer porcini mushroom specialities such as polenta, risotto and gnocchi, accompanied by wine tastings. The mycological exhibition allows visitors to get to know the different species of the undergrowth up close, while walks through the village and live music complete a day of celebration dedicated to taste and conviviality.

A village to discover

Bema is one of those villages reached by climbing through the woods, far from the most beaten tourist routes. The sagra is the ideal opportunity to discover it: a few hundred inhabitants, alpine views and a strong sense of community, in the heart of the Valtellina Orobie.

Pro Loco and tradition

Organised by the Pro Loco Bema, the sagra has free admission and is one of the most anticipated events of the local autumn. An event rooted in the territory, which combines a passion for mushroom picking with the mountain cuisine of the province of Sondrio.
