Latte in Festa 2026: Alpine dairy tradition in the heart of the Rabbi Valley

The ritual of white gold

On September 19th and 20th, 2026, the Rabbi Valley will host the new edition of Latte in Festa. The event serves as a collective reflection on the local dairy heritage, celebrating the deep bond between the mountain economy and the processing techniques that define the identity of the Trentino territory.

A landscape of history and nature

The location, nestled in the heart of the Stelvio National Park, offers a setting of rare environmental integrity. The rural architecture of the Rabbi Valley, with its wooden and stone farmsteads, becomes the natural theater in which the activities unfold. The geographical layout of the area, characterized by high-altitude pastures still managed according to seasonal rhythms, elevates the event from a simple fair to a moment of authentic ethnographic documentation.

Gastronomic paths and farming culture

The heart of the event is the farmers' market, where the selection of dairy products reflects the biodiversity of alpine pastures. Industry experts guide the public through technical tasting sessions, analyzing the organoleptic nuances of alpine cheeses. In parallel, show cooking events offer a practical demonstration of milk processing, allowing visitors to observe closely the technical expertise required for the production of raw milk cheeses.

The return of the herds

The highlight of the event is the Desmalghjada, the traditional transhumance that marks the conclusion of the summer season. The return of the livestock to the valley, adorned according to local custom, symbolizes the closing of a millennial production cycle. The procession, accompanied by the sound of cowbells and traditional costumes, transforms the village into a living stage where farming history is passed down to new generations.

Logistical information

The event takes place entirely outdoors, within the towns of the Rabbi Valley. Access to the exhibition areas is free, while some guided tastings require advance booking through official channels.
