Sagra del Mirtillo - Moncrivello

The Sagra del Mirtillo of Moncrivello stands as one of Piedmont's most eagerly anticipated food and wine events, reaffirming year after year its role as an ambassador of local excellence. Now in its twelfth edition, this festival running from 18 to 21 June 2026 has masterfully transformed a humble fruit from the hills of Vercelli into a complete sensory experience, where the blueberry becomes the golden thread connecting visitors to an authentic discovery of the territory and its traditions. Among the piazzas and medieval courtyards of Moncrivello, visitors journey through a gastronomic itinerary celebrating the philosophy of km 0 and organic agriculture. Piazza Castello transforms into a true 'Taste Square', where themed dinners, tastings of short-chain local products, and over 100 exhibitors create a convivial and engaging atmosphere. From Erbaluce di Caluso wine to artisanal vermouths, from local honey to blueberries in countless preparations, each taste tells the story of a community that chooses quality and sustainability. Beyond culinary delights, the festival offers a rich cultural programme featuring guided tours of the medieval castle, conferences on sustainable agriculture, and family-friendly sports events. An event where tradition, conscious innovation, and love for the land converge among the enchanting hills of Canavese, offering visitors an unforgettable experience of authentic Piedmontese hospitality.
