Sagra degli Gnocchi Monteleone d'Orvieto

The Sagra degli Gnocchi of Monteleone d'Orvieto is an authentic immersion into Umbrian culinary tradition, where the simplicity of ingredients transforms into a memorable gastronomic experience. For seven days, from June 15-21, 2026, the Santa Maria hamlet comes alive around the undisputed star of the festival: handmade gnocchi prepared according to recipes passed down through generations. Each dish tells the story of Umbrian countryside, peasant wisdom, and a deep love for a culinary art that withstands the test of time. The gnocchi, prepared using traditional methods, are offered in various versions: tomato gnocchi, ragù gnocchi, goose sauce gnocchi, saffron and sausage gnocchi, zucchini and shrimp gnocchi, wild boar with porcini and cherry tomato gnocchi, and forest-scented gnocchi. Beyond authentic flavours, the festival offers a festive atmosphere where gastronomy intertwines perfectly with live music and entertainment. An unmissable event for lovers of authentic cuisine and that joyful celebration where food becomes an occasion for gathering and honouring local culture.
