Tremezzina Gastronomica: A Culinary Celebration of Autumn
The Gastronomica Tremezzina festival will take place from 3 October to 13 December 2026, welcoming the arrival of autumn in the heart of the lake with the flavours and aromas typical of late summer.
Created to promote the cuisine and culinary traditions of the central lake area, the festival aims to celebrate the pleasure of gathering once again, as the first chills set in, around a table with friends and fellow residents — honouring the dishes and products that tell the story of Tremezzina.
