The Upper Valley Food Festivals are three summer events dedicated to the region’s food and wine products:
The Jambon de Bosses DOP Festival is held every year on the second Sunday in July in the medieval village of Saint-Rhémy-en-Bosses (1,632 m). It features guided tastings of raw ham aged on alpine hay, tours of the De Bosses aging facility, a traditional lunch, and a market featuring local producers.
The Saint-Oyen Grilled Ham Festival takes place on the first weekend of August (Friday through Sunday) in the Flassin park area in Saint-Oyen. It is dedicated to the only ham from the Aosta Valley cooked over an open fire, served hot with polenta, mountain-style side dishes, and high-altitude beers from Les Bières du Grand-Saint-Bernard.
The " Percorso in Rosso " takes place in mid-August (on the eve of Ferragosto) among the narrow streets and small squares of the village of Saint-Léonard in Saint-Rhémy-en-Bosses. It is a pedestrian food-and-wine tour divided into stages, focusing on the valley’s traditional cured meats and the Aosta Valley’s DOC red wines, featuring live music and traditional peasant dishes.
The complete schedules and updates on dates are available in the " Sagre del Gusto " tab and in the " Events" section.
