About Vandra Truffle Festival

In Vandra, a hamlet of Forlì del Sannio in the upper province of Isernia, one of Molise's most beloved gastronomic festivals takes place every summer: the Truffle Festival. For almost thirty years, the Circolo Valle del Vandra has celebrated the black summer truffle, a product of excellence from this corner of Molise, with a menu entirely dedicated to the tuber—from bruschetta to tagliatelle, from polenta to truffle sausage—which attracts hundreds of visitors each year.

The Truffle, Gold of the Vandra Valley

The Vandra Truffle Festival is held in Vandra, a hamlet of Forlì del Sannio, in the province of Isernia. This territory in upper Molise is particularly suited to the harvest of black summer truffle, which here becomes the absolute protagonist of a now historic food and wine festival.

A Menu Entirely Featuring Truffles

The heart of the festival is the convivial dinner based on truffles: truffle bruschetta, truffle tagliatelle, truffle polenta, truffle sausage, fior di latte with truffle, and Miranda focaccia. A gastronomic journey that enhances the authentic flavors of Molise peasant cuisine and the precious local tuber.

A Tradition Attracting Hundreds of Visitors

Organized by the Circolo Valle del Vandra, the festival is over twenty-five years old 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.

Vandra Truffle Festival — edition 2026

The 28th edition of the Vandra Truffle Festival is expected in July 2026, following the tradition of the third weekend of July. The festival, organized by the Circolo Valle del Vandra, will once again offer a menu entirely dedicated to the black summer truffle. Precise dates and details will be communicated by the organizers closer to the event.

In 2026, the Vandra Truffle Festival reaches its 28th edition.
