Valzer delle Tagliatelle al Cinghiale

In the heart of Tuscany's Siena province, nestled among the enchanting valleys of the Merse River and Farma stream, returns the 46th edition of the Valzer delle Tagliatelle al Cinghiale. This captivating event, held in the small hamlet of Iesa in the municipality of Monticiano, stands as one of the most authentic and beloved food festivals in the Siena area, where genuine atmosphere meets the excellence of local cuisine. The undisputed stars of the celebration are the legendary tagliatelle al cinghiale—a traditional dish that captures the most authentic flavours of Sienese gastronomy. Yet the festival offers far more than culinary delights: live music from various groups, a charming local craft market, a spontaneous painting exhibition, and the opportunity to explore the magnificent K.L. Metzler sculpture park surrounded by nature. From June 12–14, 2026, the ARCI La Pigna social club in Iesa becomes the gathering place for those seeking authentic Tuscany away from mass tourism. With completely free admission to all events, it's the perfect opportunity to savour tradition, culture, and stunning landscapes in one unforgettable experience.
