The Sagra della Zucca e dell'Uva Bacarona transforms the enchanting Borgo Rivola into a stage dedicated to Romagna's autumn flavors. Two undisputed protagonists of local agriculture come together in this gastronomic celebration: the pumpkin, a versatile ingredient deeply rooted in Romagnol culinary tradition, and Bacarona grapes, a local wine variety that expresses the full intensity and richness of the regional terroir. During the festival, food stands showcase creations that highlight these products in multiple ways, from sweet to savory recipes, offering visitors an authentic experience of local cuisine. You can taste pumpkin tortellini, creamy risottos, sweet tortelli, mustards and jams, paired with local wines that enhance every dish. The event embodies the genuine spirit of Romagnol festivals, where gastronomy becomes an instrument for meeting and sharing community identity. Alongside pumpkin and Bacarona grape dishes, the festival features wines and typical territorial products—cheeses, cured meats, bread and preserves—creating a sensory journey through local excellence. Conviviality is the defining element of every moment of the festival, from morning to evening, accompanied by traditional music, family entertainment and the desire to share time-honored traditions. This event represents a privileged opportunity to discover how the local community transforms seasonal cycles into celebration, honoring its agricultural and gastronomic heritage. Activities include guided tastings, cooking workshops, visits to local wineries and artisan markets where you can meet producers directly. For those wishing to immerse themselves in the authenticity of Romagna, the Sagra della Zucca e dell'Uva Bacarona offers an unforgettable experience among autumn's finest flavors.
