It is a far-reaching initiative, organized and promoted by Consorzio Agrituristico Mantovano, always eagerly awaited by visitors who want to tour our countryside. This event aims to bring together agricultural producers and consumers, in an itinerant journey to discover authentic flavors and landscape treasures that the country has to offer.

You can visit honey farms, dairies, wineries with tasting and sale of wines, farms with medicinal, aromatic and ornamental plants, production of mustards and beers, ostrich, llama, donkey, goat and snail farms, biodynamic cultivation and old varieties of fruit and vegetables. You can take short walks, ride horses, as well as taking part in treasure hunts, typical games and demonstrations of ancient crafts.
