A historic July festival dedicated to the black summer truffle 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.
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.
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.
In 2026, the Vandra Truffle Festival reaches its 28th edition. The event, organized by the Circolo Valle del Vandra in Forlì del Sannio, confirms its successful formula: dinners featuring black summer truffle in the charming setting of the Vandra hamlet. The precise dates will be announced by the organizers in the weeks prior.
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 truffle-based dinner (truffle bruschetta, tagliatelle, polenta, and 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.
