Deep in Sardinia's forests, San Vito welcomes back the unmissable Mostra dei Funghi, a celebration of mycology that has brought together experts and enthusiasts for over thirty years. For sixteen days, passionate exhibitions showcase every species with its own story, while local mycologists are on hand to share fascinating insights and secrets about the region's varieties. It's the perfect opportunity for independent foragers to consult directly with experts and learn to identify local mushroom species. But the Mostra dei Funghi is far more than discovery and education—it's a feast for the palate. The gastronomic stand serves steaming soups, mushroom gnocchetti, exquisite stuffed and sautéed varieties, paired with thematic evenings celebrating grilled steak and wild boar. An enoteca run by the Alpini Group completes the offering with carefully selected local wines that enhance every dish. Beyond gastronomy, San Vito welcomes visitors with diverse recreational activities: a charming Vespa rally, forest walks, scarecrow competitions, and guided tours. An event that weaves together nature, culture, and culinary tradition in a complete celebration of Sardinian autumn.
