Zigante Truffle Days
In the very heart of Istria, in the valley of the Mirna River, at the foot of Motovun, lies the Motovun Forest, a rich forest area that hides one of the most precious fruits of the country – the truffle.
Zigante Truffle Days are held every fall in Livade. It is a unique event that attracts many local and international guests, who travel from all over the world to taste this superb gourmet specialty and other exceptional Istrian delicacies.
This event puts the small town of Livade on the map as the capital of the Istrian truffle. The rich and carefully assembled program of Zigante Truffle Days includes the truffle fair, an international exhibition of wines and other authentic Istrian products (such as Istrian prosciutto, sausages, cheese, honey, olive oil, brandy…), culinary workshops, truffle hunting demonstrations in the Forest, and various tastings of truffle-based specialties created and presented by renowned chefs.
The event happens every weekend in October.
