Il Filo dei Sapori

“Il Filo dei Sapori” is an event that began in 2014 with the aim of bringing attention back to the role of agriculture and farmers in enhancing and spreading the richness of a territory. The event was conceived by the Mountain Community of Carnia in collaboration with Ersa (Regional Agency for Rural Development), other entities, and associations.
For 2023, the event is sponsored by the City of Tolmezzo and is supported by the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region, ERSA FVG, PromoTurismo FVG, the Pn-Ud Chamber of Commerce, and the BIM Tagliamento Consortium.
It takes place every year in October, in Tolmezzo.
*The Comunità di Montagna della Carnia, made up of 28 municipalities, continues a forward-looking history of territorial cooperation that began in 1947 with the Carnica Community, when the municipalities voluntarily established a form of local government to achieve economic improvement and social and civil progress in this territory

The goals

The emphasis is on the producers and their primary activities in the mountains, serving as an indirect promotion of both the companies and the region as a whole.
Promote and enhance relationships between the primary sector, catering, and educational institutions.
Disseminate the experimental activities carried out by ERSA in the agricultural sector to enhance environmental and economic sustainability.
Educate consumers to recognize quality products and convey the added value of mountain production.
Emphasizing the vast wealth of the territory: biodiversity.
To deliver a unique experience for visitors, we will share and facilitate first-hand encounters with various traditions and customs within the agricultural sector.
To increase visitor numbers and promote the development of food and wine tourism and slow tourism in Carnia.
The Comunità di montagna della Carnia has designed and created the showcase for Carnia’s agri-food products. The commercial relationship is always between the customer and the businesses: the Carnia Mountain Community only offers a space for visibility and promotion, but does not intervene in any way in the commercial negotiation or the obligations that arise from it.
