Umbria's most eagerly awaited summer event returns in 2026: 'Collesanto Antria in Gastronomia', the gastronomic festival celebrating goose, the undisputed queen of Magione's table. From July 10-19, the charming village of Antria transforms into a gastronomic court where Umbrian culinary tradition meets authentic conviviality, offering a unique sensory experience.

Each evening (7:30 PM to 11:00 PM), visitors can savour tasting menus curated by local chefs and renowned figures from Umbria's culinary scene. Roasted goose, pappardelle with goose ragù, braised liver, and Brussels sprouts are just some of the creations that showcase this extraordinary ingredient, paired with local DOC wines. Yet the magic of 'Collesanto Antria in Gastronomia' lies in its atmosphere: traditional music performances, interactive tastings with chefs, guided tours discovering authentic flavours, and warm Umbrian hospitality transform every evening into an unforgettable event. Perfect for those seeking genuine immersion in regional gastronomic culture, this festival represents a rare opportunity to understand how food preserves memory and local identity.
