Italy during the Harvest season - Click the link in our bio to plan the perfect fall food tour in beautiful Italy! 🇮🇹
You’ll find many of Italy’s most popular foods during harvest time in Tuscany: truffles, porcini, chestnuts, pumpkins, , and, of course… grapes for new wine. During the harvest season, restaurants will offer specialties that highlight the newly harvested foods.
WINE: 🍷
Explore the annual wine festival in the city of Greve, in the heart of the Chianti region. This four-day festival usually takes place early in September. You’ll purchase a wine glass for about 10 euros that gives you access to taste up to eight wines from all of the options that are offered!
OLIVES: 🫒
In November, head to Montemurlo (Prato), just 30 kilometers outside of Florence, to celebrate the olive harvest. This is great for anyone who wants to bring back olive oil as a souvenir; you can taste different types of oil before deciding which one (or which dozen) to bring home.
TRUFFLE:🍴
One of the most popular annual fairs in the region is the International Market and Fair of the White Truffle in Alba, in the Piedmont region of Italy. The fair lasts for eight weeks and takes place in October and November. In addition to truffles, there are also tastings and vendors selling other harvested delicacies like wine, pasta, cheese, mushrooms and chestnuts.
📍 Florence celebrates the harvest, too, and is an excellent base for day trips into the countryside and, of course, savoring all the bounty in its excellent restaurants.
