Sapori di castagne

When autumn paints the hills of Friuli Venezia Giulia in warm, golden hues, Magnano in Riviera comes alive with Sapori di Castagne, a festival celebrating one of the season's most prized fruits. Surrounded by chestnut groves, this event offers an authentic sensory journey where chestnuts take centre stage: from freshly roasted caldarroste to traditional dishes, homemade sweets to typical Friulian preparations that showcase this precious ingredient. Yet Sapori di Castagne is far more than a simple food festival. The event transforms the village into a stage for community and tradition, where artisan markets, themed exhibitions and folk music create a festive and welcoming atmosphere. Alongside chestnuts, you'll discover the region's authentic flavours: steaming soups, local cured meats and aged cheeses that tell the culinary story of Friuli Venezia Giulia. Perfect for families and nature lovers, this event is the ideal opportunity to savour the first crisp autumn days surrounded by evocative colours and genuine flavours. An experience that celebrates the deep bond between the local community and its forests, transforming traditions into moments of sharing and conviviality.
