Pietralunga transforms into a culinary capital from October 10-19, 2026 with the Mostra mercato del tartufo bianco e della patata, an event celebrating two exceptional Umbrian gastronomic treasures in a vibrant festival brimming with flavors, culture, and entertainment. For ten days, this charming medieval village becomes the stage for an immersive culinary experience, where food and wine stands, traditional markets, and guided tastings invite visitors to discover the endless gastronomic possibilities of these two extraordinary products—from classic regional dishes to innovative creations. The festival's true stars are the 'Compagnia del Tartufo', a collective of ten professional chefs crafting premium gourmet street food with white truffle, alongside the spectacular 'Truffle Chef Challenge', a competition welcoming amateur cooks eager to test their creativity. Cooking demonstrations, wine and food tours, and interactive workshops cater to curious palates, while folk performances, live concerts, and DJ sets create the festive atmosphere that defines every great Umbrian sagra. But Pietralunga offers far more than food: the event extends across the region with countryside walks, guided excursions, running races, and mountain biking trails for outdoor enthusiasts. Drummers, flag-wavers, exhibitions, and games for all ages make this festival the perfect occasion for families and food tradition lovers seeking an authentic Umbrian experience.
