San Miniato Truffle Fair – La Sagra del Tartufo Bianco, a truffle fair, is held in the medieval hill town of San Miniato in the Pisa Province of Tuscany on the second, third and fourth weekends in November. 25% of Italy’s white truffles are produced in this territory and November is the heart of truffle gathering season. There will be food and craft stands and entertainment and restaurants will feature truffle menus. If you haven’t had truffles, this is a great place to get an introduction.

If traveling to Tuscany or Liguria…please be aware that shortly after flooding in Rome, now unusually heavy rains have flooded parts of Liguria and northern Tuscany, including the popular Cinque Terre villages. Roads washed away leaving two of the villages, Monterosso and Vernazza, cut off, according to news reports. Parts of the A12 and A15 autostrada are currently closed as well as other roads in the area and the rail line is closed between la Spezia and Genoa.
Cinque Terre hiking trails are likely to be closed for awhile, too, so check the Cinque Terre National Park web site for updates before you go.
