About Trout Festival

Between late May and early June, the Molino di Altissimo area, in the mountains of the Alta Valle del Chiampo, celebrates its most precious product with the Trout Festival. The trout farmed in these clear waters has obtained the Municipal Designation of Origin (De.Co.) and is the absolute star of the table: crostini, fried trout, trout sauce pasta, fillets, and grilled trout, served every evening from the food stand. An authentic mountain festival, enriched by music, exhibitions, and moments of in-depth discussion.

The De.Co. Trout Festival

The Trout Festival takes place in Molino di Altissimo, in the municipality of Altissimo, in the province of Vicenza, in the Alta Valle del Chiampo. It is a festival dedicated to a local excellence: the trout from the Alta Valle, farmed in the clean waters of the area and recognized with the Municipal Designation of Origin (De.Co.) of the municipality of Altissimo.

Trout in all its forms

The food stand, open every evening from 7 PM, offers a menu entirely dedicated to fish: trout crostini, fried trout, trout sauce pasta, fillets, and grilled trout, accompanied by polenta and sausage. A proposal that tells the story of the cuisine of a valley where fish farming is part of the local identity.

Not just gastronomy

The festival combines culinary delights with cultural and entertainment moments: an art exhibition with works by local artists of all ages, a conference dedicated to the De.Co. trout, and musical evenings, including live Latin music. A format that combines product valorization, community, and fun.

In the heart of the Alta Valle del Chiampo

Altissimo is a small mountain municipality in the province of Vicenza, part of an area known for stone processing and the natural environment of the Alta Valle del Chiampo. The Trout Festival is the ideal opportunity to discover this corner of the pre-Alpine Veneto, far from mass tourist routes.
