Tignale Truffle Festival

The truffle of Garda Bresciano

Few know that the mountains above Lake Garda hold a gastronomic treasure: the truffle. In Tignale, a municipality in Alto Garda in the province of Brescia, the Truffle Festival celebrates this fruit of the earth in the charming village of Gardola, the historic heart of the town. The event, now almost thirty years old, is one of the most anticipated gastronomic events of the Garda autumn.

Restaurants celebrate

The heart of the festival are the town's restaurants, which during the event offer special truffle-based menus, highlighting local recipes. Around the table, there are also tastings, stalls, cooking shows, and entertainment designed for all ages, which liven up the village on the weekends of the event. It's a way to experience the town in a slow and delicious way, amidst alleys, glimpses of the lake, and autumn scents.

Not just gastronomy

The festival is also an opportunity to discover the beauties of Tignale. During the event, you can visit the Limonaia Pra dela Fam, one of the last historic lemon houses on Lake Garda, and the Museum of the Alto Garda Bresciano Park. The village of Gardola, with its authentic atmosphere, provides the ideal setting for an event that combines flavors, nature, and local culture.

Tignale, Orange Flag

Tignale is awarded the Orange Flag by the Touring Club Italiano, a recognition reserved for small inland towns that distinguish themselves for environmental quality and hospitality. Overlooking Alto Garda Bresciano, the town is an ideal destination for those seeking a different Garda, made of mountains, traditions, and genuine products. The Truffle Festival is its tastiest showcase.
