Event Details

  • 📅 Start Date: 17/10/2026
  • 🔚 End Date: 18/10/2026
  • 📍 Location: Garda

Autumn on Lake Garda brings with it a unique atmosphere, filled with warm colours and inviting aromas. It is against this enchanting backdrop that Garda prepares to host its annual D.O.P Chestnut Festival, an event celebrating one of the most iconic fruits of the Veronese territory. From October 17 to 18, 2026, the village will come alive for a weekend dedicated to tradition and taste, offering visitors an authentic and memorable experience.

The heart of the event is the flavours market, a sensory journey where the undisputed star is the exquisite San Zeno D.O.P. Chestnut. Here, you will have the opportunity to taste it in all its most creative forms: from steaming roasted chestnuts to refined desserts, from jams to savoury dishes that highlight its sweetness and texture. Food stalls will offer a wide variety of local specialties, inviting discovery of unexpected pairings. Among these, the “birra castanea” stands out, an artisanal beer that captures the essence of the chestnut in every sip, proposing a responsible tasting experience rich in nuances.
