26° Sagra della patata

In Mombarcaro, the highest point of Alta Langa, a festival is held that has its roots in the earth itself: the Potato Festival, the heart of the traditional Sant'Anna Fair. In an enchanting landscape made of hills, woods and crisp air, the event celebrates the potato of the Alta Valle Belbo, a rustic, genuine agricultural product appreciated for its intense flavour and versatility. The aromas that spread during the festival are those of times gone by: hand-made gnocchi, stuffed ravioli, grilled meats, but also simpler dishes such as potatoes baked with rosemary or farmhouse omelette. The historic center also hosts markets with local produce and handicrafts, food and wine stands, musical performances and entertainment moments designed for all ages. The Potato Festival is a perfect opportunity to discover the flavours of Alta Langa and to rediscover a festival that still knows how to bring people together around what truly matters: good food and community life.
