Sagra del coniglio

In the heart of the small hamlet of San Nicolò, in the municipality of Manzano, one of Friuli's most deeply rooted and cherished gastronomic traditions comes alive: the Sagra del Coniglio. This annual celebration, boasting decades of history and a devoted following among authentic cuisine enthusiasts, is far more than a simple food festival. It is a direct connection to rural culinary heritage, a moment when simple ingredients transform into excellence through recipes passed down across generations.

Rabbit, the undisputed star of the event, perfectly embodies the essence of Friuli's rustic cuisine: a humble yet extraordinarily versatile ingredient that, in the skilled hands of local cooks, becomes the centerpiece of succulent and flavourful dishes. From rabbit chasseur to braised preparations and traditional recipes, each dish tells stories of the land, passion, and dedication. The Sagra del Coniglio is therefore an unmissable opportunity to discover or rediscover the authentic flavours of a community that proudly continues to nurture its gastronomic heritage.
