Sauris in festa

Sauris in Festa is an unmissable event for lovers of Friuli cuisine, where the small mountain village of Sauris transforms into a vibrant celebration center dedicated to local excellence. From July 12-20, 2026, the village hosts a festival that combines culinary tradition, authentic craftsmanship and entertainment, offering visitors a complete immersion in Sauris culture. The beating heart of the festival revolves around the gastronomic specialties that have made this location famous: Sauris ham indisputably dominates the celebrations, accompanied by alpine cheeses, frico with potatoes, polenta, herb gnocchi and a rich selection of traditional sweets.

The festival is not just about taste: Sauris in Festa offers a 360-degree experience with food and agriculture markets, traveling performances and live music that animate the village streets creating a joyful and engaging atmosphere. A unique opportunity is represented by guided tours of the local prosciutto producers, breweries and cured meat factories, where you can discover firsthand the secrets of artisanal production and understand how beech wood, juniper and aromatic herbs transform meat into a cured product of extraordinary quality.

Visitors can accompany tastings with the traditional locally-produced Zahre beer or with prestigious Friuli wines such as Ramandolo and wines from Colli Orientali. The crafts market completes the offering, allowing you to admire artisans at work as they create everyday objects with centuries-old skill. An authentic experience that celebrates the richness of Sauris traditions.
