The herbs of Arta Terme


Le Erbe di Arta Terme
Town/city Arta Terme
Description: There is a special time in Piano d’Arta when spring ceases to be merely a season and becomes a taste and a scent. It is the time of the Herb Festival, of wild asparagus, mountain radicchio and spring mushrooms.
In this corner of Carnia, something magical happens: thanks to a unique microclimate, wild herbs that usually grow at 1,000 metres can be found as low as 600 metres, turning our undergrowth into a vast ‘lush garden’.

We invite you to spend a weekend dedicated to discovery and tradition. You’ll learn to recognise these gems of the earth, use them in the kitchen or for your wellbeing, and savour them on a food and wine tour through the village streets, where the flavours of yesteryear meet the creativity of local cuisine.

SATURDAY 16 MAY 2026

Arrival in Arta Terme and check-in at the hotel or B&B.

In the afternoon, a guided walk to discover wild herbs along the valley trails of Arta Terme.

At the end of the excursion, a special aperitif in the shade of Giosuè Carducci’s great walnut tree, a place steeped in history and charm.

Dinner at the hotel or a partner restaurant and overnight stay.

SUNDAY 17 MAY 2026

The morning gets off to the best possible start with a healthy breakfast.

Today in Arta Terme is a day of celebration! Spring is celebrated with the Festival of Wild Herbs, wild asparagus, mountain radicchio and spring mushrooms. The first fruits of this unspoilt land take centre stage for the day.

Throughout the day, in the streets of the town, you’ll find food stalls offering a genuine wild herb-themed tour, with a tasting menu specially designed for the occasion, from starter to dessert. 
You’ll be given a voucher to use for tasting each dish and its accompanying wines. 

The programme also includes cooking demonstrations, guided walks, barefoot walks, children’s entertainment and workshops.
Don’t miss the stalls selling local produce and souvenirs, and the roaming musicians.

Free afternoon and departure.

See you in Arta Terme!
