Chestnuts arrive on the table with the full, hearty flavors of autumn, alongside the products that accompany the season. Village fairs and patron saint celebrations invite people to explore local traditions and share the pleasures of good food. Even in Trentino-Alto Adige, November offers opportunities to savor the region and enjoy the ambiance of autumn days.
The calendar of Trentino-Alto Adige spans from chestnut flavors to wines: among the events are the Festa della Castagna – Keschtnriggl in Tesimo, the Sagra della ciuiga in San Lorenzo Dorsino, and the Merano Wine Festival. Three distinct occasions to experience the season through festivals, regional specialties, and the enogastronomic culture.
