Event Details
Welcome to the Sagra del Tartufo Bianco 2026 in San Miniato
Across three weekends in November 2026, on the 14th and 15th, the 21st and 22nd, and the 28th and 29th, the historic center of San Miniato in Tuscany becomes a stage dedicated to the white truffle. This small hill town lies just a short drive from Florence and is one of Italy's key truffle growing areas, accounting for roughly a quarter of the country's total white truffle production.

- Tastings of wine, olive oil and traditional Tuscan dishes featuring truffle

Program and Schedule: What to Expect in San Miniato
The fair runs on Saturdays and Sundays, with market stalls, food and a supporting program centered on Piazza del Duomo and the surrounding squares of the old town. During the event weekends, much of the historic center is closed to private traffic, so visitors get around on foot or using the dedicated shuttle. The detailed daily schedule with exact times is usually published shortly before each weekend.
Admission and Costs for the Sagra del Tartufo Bianco 2026
Entry to the Mostra Mercato itself is free. Since the historic core is closed to private cars during the event, a shuttle service operates instead, which in previous years cost around 4.50 euros for a round trip. Local residents and train travelers can sometimes use free alternatives.
Visitor Tips: Travel and Accommodation in San Miniato
- By train, get off at San Miniato Fucecchio, where a free connecting bus runs into the old town on event days
- Those arriving by car should park on the outskirts and take the shuttle, since driving into the old town is not permitted
- November in Tuscany tends to be cool and occasionally rainy, so warm clothing is a good idea
- Since the weekends draw large crowds, accommodation in San Miniato or nearby Florence should be booked well in advance
