The Scent of Autumn Between Flavour and History: Porcini Mushroom Festival in Borgotaro with a Visit to Compiano Castle
Every September, the Upper Taro Valley (Alta Valtaro) comes alive with the colours and aromas of autumn to celebrate one of its most prized treasures: the PGI Porcini Mushroom of Borgotaro. A unique delicacy, cherished by chefs and food lovers around the world, that here becomes a full sensory and cultural experience.
The Porcini Mushroom Festival is more than just a food fair: it's a deep dive into the traditions of a land that lives in harmony with its forests. Strolling through the village’s festive streets, tasting local dishes like fresh tagliatelle with porcini or savoury mushroom frittatas, meeting local producers, and breathing in the pure mountain air—every moment invites you to connect with something authentic.
And to complete the experience, step into history with a visit to Compiano Castle—a majestic medieval fortress nestled among the trees, with elegant halls, breathtaking views over the valley, and ancient legends still echoing through its stone walls.
A weekend of flavour, history, and nature: the most authentic way to experience the true soul of Emilia.
