Tortèl & Gropèl 2026 at Lasterosse Winery

Tortèl & Gropèl 2026, the authentic taste of Val di Non: , every weekend until March 1 potato tortèl, Groppello, dedicated menus, restaurants and masterclasses.

Until March 1, 2026, Val di Non celebrates one of its most beloved gastronomic rituals with Tortèl & Gropèl, the food and wine festival dedicated to potato tortèl, a symbol of conviviality in the valleys of the Noce River, and Groppello, an indigenous red wine that tells the area’s most authentic winemaking story.

An appointment that is renewed every weekend, transforming restaurants, agritourisms and wineries into meeting places where tradition, taste and local identity meet at the table.

On the calendar of events, a new masterclass is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 28 , at Cantina Lasterosse in Romallo, designed for those who want to discover-or rediscover-the secrets of traditional Nonesa cuisine.

Potato tortèl: the dish of conviviality

Tortèl is not only a gastronomic specialty, but a true collective ritual. Served at the center of the table in large steaming trays, it is accompanied by the symbolic products of the valley: cheeses from local dairies, lucanica, speck, mortandela, carne salada, to the ever-present cabbage and borlotti bean salad.
Each diner constructs his or her own dish, making the moment of dinner a convivial, informal experience deeply linked to local culture.

Groppello, the “heroic” wine of Val di Non

Next to tortèl, the star in the glass is Groppello, a rare grape variety grown by only five families on steep, terraced slopes overlooking Lake Santa Giustina. It is an elegant, spicy wine with vibrant freshness, capable of enhancing every mouthful and telling, sip after sip, the patient and courageous work of the valley’s winemakers.

Tortèl & Gropèl Menus.

All participating establishments offer a dedicated menu, featuring potato cakes and local products, enriched by personal interpretations: pokies, sauerkraut, peperonata, homemade jams or traditional desserts. Many restaurants also offer gluten-free options, always by reservation.

The review involves numerous restaurants and agritourisms in the Non Valley, active on weekends or for selected periods. A complete and updated list of participating establishments is available on the official Visit Val di Non website.

For every Tortèl & Gropèl menu purchased, guests receive a 10% discount voucher for the purchase of Groppello and other local wines at participating wineries, valid until March 31, 2026.
