Sagra della castagna IGP e del fungo porcino

Roccamonfina transforms into an autumn paradise celebrating Campania's finest culinary treasures with the Sagra della Castagna IGP e del Fungo Porcino. From October 4 to November 2, 2026, this charming village welcomes visitors from across Italy to celebrate two undisputed stars of local cuisine: IGP chestnuts and porcini mushrooms, which represent not only the community's pride but also the beating heart of the territory's economy and culinary heritage. The event is an unmissable opportunity to purchase the season's finest delicacies directly from local producers. The true magic of Roccamonfina reveals itself in the gastronomic spaces created for the occasion, where you can taste the celebrated roasted chestnuts cooked in the giant 'padellone' measuring 10.5 meters across—holder of the Guinness World Record since 2018 for the world's largest pan. But fire and tradition aren't all: local chefs offer creative interpretations featuring chestnuts and porcini mushrooms in refined dishes such as sautéed porcini risotto, chestnut ravioli with mushroom ragù, glazed marrons with balsamic reduction, chestnut cakes and mushroom creams, gourmet pizzas and autumn sauces. Each creation is paired with prized local wines that enhance autumn flavors. Porcini enthusiasts can participate in workshops dedicated to mycological research, comparative tastings of different varieties, and insights into sustainable cultivation. Similarly, gastronomy experts offer workshops on IGP chestnut processing and preservation. Beyond culinary delights, Roccamonfina offers guided tours and evocative excursions through surrounding forests to discover the natural and cultural beauty of this unique territory, with the opportunity to participate in authentic porcini hunts led by local experts. A complete experience that perfectly combines gastronomy, history, landscape and wine culture.
