Gustosando in Valtellina (Tasting in Valtellina)

Gustosando in Valtellina is a historic, widespread food and wine festival that has been celebrating the autumn flavors of Lower Valtellina for over twenty years. From October 3 to 18, 2026, the event offers a sensory journey through wine cellars, historic courtyards, and scenic spots, combining tastings of traditional products with the discovery of the alpine landscape and local history. Although centered in Albaredo per San Marco, the festival's traveling itinerary extends across four local villages: Albaredo per San Marco, Buglio in Monte, Dubino, and Mello. Each stop features unique culinary offerings, all sharing the same philosophy of immersive tasting. Between glasses of fine Valtellina wine, visitors can savor bresaola, cured meats, mountain cheeses, polenta, rye bread, buckwheat specialties, local honey, and traditional desserts. To complete the experience, the villages come alive with music, cultural encounters, guided tours, and special initiatives designed to highlight the deep bond between these mountain communities and their land.
