Nut Festival in Cortemillia

Every year in August, Cortemilia bursts to life – just a short drive from Afita Camera – during the Fiera Nazionale della Nocciola, the festival of the famous Tonda Gentile di Langa hazelnut. The medieval streets fill with music, craft, tastings, and the scent of freshly roasted nuts.

What once began in Roman times, when Cortemilia was known as Cohors Aemilia, has today evolved into a charming tribute to tradition, flavor, and craftsmanship. Visiting this festival means experiencing the true spirit of the Langhe – warm, flavorful, and unforgettable.
