The Black Truffle Terrace in Citerna

Date: June 13, 2026  |  Location: Citerna (PG), Italy

A new initiative linking nature, food culture and local heritage arrives in the Alta Valle del Tevere: The Black Truffle Terrace is a one-day event entirely dedicated to the black truffle and to promoting the historic village of Citerna, listed among Italy's most beautiful hamlets.

Event highlights

• Truffle-ground experiences: guided walks and live demonstrations to learn about the woodland ecosystem and truffle harvesting methods.
• Dog-search demonstrations: practical displays of the relationship between truffle hunters and their dogs, essential to the hunt.
• Schools and youth involvement: a themed contest "The Forest and the Truffle" with student works exhibited in the local museum and a public award ceremony in the square.
• Market and tastings: local truffle sellers offering freshly harvested specimens and tastings of extra virgin olive oil from the Slow Food Presidia of ancient olive groves.
• Special museum openings and themed dinners in village restaurants featuring black truffle dishes.

Why attend

The event aims to promote the territory with an experiential approach: exploring woodland habitats, learning about the truffle supply chain and supporting local businesses. It is an opportunity to discover a medieval village, meet producers and taste regional specialties.

Practical tips: arrive in the morning for field activities, book restaurants in advance for evening tastings and check with local organizers for schedules and participation details.
