Every year in the peak of the truffle season (late October -early November- through December) if you are lucky enough to visit Tuscany, you can enjoy the interesting White Truffle festival in Volterra. It is not as famous as that of San Miniato but it has its own charm.

Volterra is a beautiful and well preserved medieval town in Tuscany. It has a beautiful palace and town square. It is a popular tourist town all the year round. Volterra is famous for its pecorino cheeses, olives, boar meat, truffles etc but come Truffle season the highlight of the town is definitely the locally available White Truffle.

The Festival not only showcases White truffles but also is a gastronome’s delight featuring other delicious food products from the region.
