A historic July festival dedicated to the summer black truffle of the Vandra Valley
The Sagra del Tartufo di Vandra is held in Vandra, a hamlet of Forlì del Sannio, in the province of Isernia. This territory in upper Molise is particularly suited for the harvest of summer black truffle, which becomes the absolute star of an now historic food and wine festival here.
The heart of the festival is the convivial dinner based on truffle: truffle bruschetta, truffle tagliatelle, truffle polenta, truffle sausage, fior di latte with truffle, and Miranda focaccia. A gastronomic journey that enhances the authentic flavours of Molise peasant cuisine and the precious local tuber.
Organized by the Circolo Valle del Vandra, the festival has been running for over twenty-five years and has become a regular fixture of the Molise summer. Each edition attracts hundreds of gourmets, drawn by the quality of the local truffle and the genuine atmosphere of the village festival.
In 2026, the Sagra del Tartufo di Vandra reaches its 28th edition. The event, organized by the Circolo Valle del Vandra in Forlì del Sannio, confirms its successful formula: dinners based on summer black truffle in the charming setting of the Vandra hamlet. The precise dates will be announced by the organizers in the weeks preceding the event.
The detailed program for the 28th edition, including dates and times for the dinners, will be communicated by the Circolo Valle del Vandra closer to the event. The usual format includes two evenings with a convivial dinner featuring truffle (bruschetta, tagliatelle, polenta, and truffle sausage) and musical entertainment.
Forlì del Sannio and the hamlet of Vandra can be reached by car from the state road connecting Isernia to Castel di Sangro. Vandra is located along the valley of the same name, in upper Molise.
The festival is traditionally held in July, usually on the third weekend.
