About Tartufesta Camugnano
The white truffle festival in Camugnano
The Tartufesta in Camugnano is one of the most cherished autumn events in the Bolognese Apennines. Every year, in early November, the small village in the Municipality of Camugnano, in the Province of Bologna (Emilia-Romagna), transforms to celebrate the absolute star of the season: the prized white truffle of the Bolognese hills. For an entire day, Piazza Kennedy and the village streets are filled with a whirlwind of autumn colors and forest scents, with stalls, tastings, and activities designed for the whole family.
A stop on the widespread Tartufesta
The Camugnano event is part of the Tartufesta, the large, widespread festival promoted by the Metropolitan City of Bologna which, between October and November, involves ten municipalities in the Apennines: in addition to Camugnano, Savigno di Valsamoggia, Grizzana Morandi, Lizzano in Belvedere, Loiano, Monghidoro, Monzuno, Pianoro, Sasso Marconi, and San Benedetto Val di Sambro participate. Each municipality dedicates a day to truffles, enhancing the landscape, culture, and gastronomy of the Bolognese mountains. It's a perfect opportunity to discover an authentic territory and its excellent products.
What you'll find in the square
- Food stalls with tastings of truffle-based dishes and mountain specialties;
- Market of typical mountain products, from chestnuts to cheeses, from cured meats to local desserts;
- Guided walks for all ages through the woods and chestnut groves surrounding the village;
- Entertainment and shows throughout the day, with activities dedicated to children;
- In the afternoon, the unmissable event with roasted chestnuts and mulled wine.
The truffle of the Bolognese hills
The heart of the festival is the prized white truffle, harvested in the Apennine woods and the star of special menus at the stalls and in some local restaurants. Around this product, there are tastings by producers, markets, exhibitions, truffle dog competitions, and guided excursions to discover the woods and search techniques. Visiting the Tartufesta in Camugnano means experiencing firsthand a food and wine tradition that has linked these communities to their mountains for centuries.
