During the enchanting days of July 11-13, 2026, Villa di Verzuolo transforms into a temple of Piedmontese gastronomy with the Sagra dell'Agnolotto d'la Vila e del Villuccio. Two local culinary excellences take center stage in a celebration rooted in the most authentic traditions of the territory, jealously guarded by artisans of taste such as Gastronomia Sale & Pepe, Mercà 'dla Vila, and Forno Panatè d'la Vila.

The Agnolotto d'la Vila, a first course with a secret recipe passed down through generations, is accompanied by the Villuccio, a dessert born from a creative reinterpretation of local pastry traditions. Both are made exclusively with zero-kilometer ingredients, selected directly from local producers in the Cuneo territory, guaranteeing authenticity and quality in every bite.

During the festive weekend, extraordinary gastronomic offerings follow one another: mixed traditional Piedmontese cured meats, roast with vegetable cream, fried gnocco with cured meats, braised beef cheek in Langhe red wine, vegetarian lasagna, farro and chickpea salad, Villuccio with artisanal gelato, and other delights that complete a rich and varied offering.

Orchestras and live concerts animate the evenings, while themed conferences, folklore performances, and historical reenactments transport visitors to the heart of local culture. Guided tours of the historic Verzuolo castle are also organized, transforming the gastronomic experience into a true immersive journey through Piedmont's historical and cultural heritage. A complete event suitable for all ages, where food and wine, entertainment, dancing, and traditions come together for an unforgettable experience.
