Fiera del tartufo e del miele

Autumn in Casteggio takes on the colours and aromas of two gastronomic treasures that have shaped the history of Oltrepò Pavese: truffle and honey. The Fair that animates the streets of the village in November represents a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in local culinary traditions, where the intense and sophisticated aroma of truffle meets the natural sweetness of honey in pairings that surprise the palate. This is not merely a product exhibition, but a genuine sensory journey through the gastronomic heritage of the region. The stalls scattered throughout the historic centre offer tastings curated by local producers who jealously guard the secrets of their craft. Culinary demonstrations allow visitors to discover how these precious ingredients transform into dishes of Pavia tradition, while artisans display their creations, creating an atmosphere rich in creativity and passion. The markets offer the opportunity to take home these treasures of Oltrepò, purchasing directly from the growers and foragers who dedicate the entire year to this search in the forest. Far from being exclusively a food and wine event, the fair transforms Casteggio into a stage for culture and entertainment. The musical performances that punctuate the day, the artisan exhibitions and demonstrations on truffle hunting and beekeeping create a complete experience that celebrates not only flavour, but also the history, labour and innovation that characterise the territory.
