The Mostra regionale della mela in Pantianicco is an unmissable event for lovers of authentic flavours and local traditions. From 26 September to 5 October 2026, this charming village transforms into a vibrant celebration dedicated to one of the region's most iconic fruits, where gastronomy takes centre stage with menus rich in traditional dishes and irresistible desserts. The famous Pomelle—local apple fritters—are the beating heart of an event that celebrates the fruit in all its forms: fresh, in juices, ciders, vinegars, and gourmet pairings with fine honey, cheese, and artisanal local wines. Beyond the culinary experience, the Exhibition unfolds as a true family festival, with activities and entertainment for all ages. The spaces come alive with evening dances, live musical performances, Piaggio enthusiast gatherings, and sporting competitions such as the charming ‹Mela a Spasso› (a non-competitive running event open to everyone), while technical seminars offer insights into crucial topics including crop protection, climate change, and sustainable agriculture opportunities. Gastronomic stands and zero-kilometre markets make this event a unique opportunity to discover local excellence and take home the territory's finest products. Contests for the best variety apple crate and competitions for apple and honey-based desserts add a playful element that makes the event even more engaging and memorable. For detailed information on times, admission prices, and the full programme, we recommend contacting the local tourist office or visiting the event's official website.
