Antica sagra del Carmine

In the heart of the Vicenza countryside, nestled among the vineyards of the renowned Gambellara wine region, the Antica Sagra del Carmine returns each summer. This event is rooted in the local devotion to the Madonna del Carmelo and has evolved into a celebration that brings together the entire community of Sorio. This gathering represents a perfect balance between the sacred and the secular, where religious tradition intertwines with the authentic flavors of Venetan cuisine and the joy of a village festival.

The festival offers a genuine and uncompromising gastronomic experience, with dishes that tell the story of local culinary heritage: from bigoli all'anatra (duck pasta) to mixed grills, from stews to steaming polenta, and traditional desserts prepared according to recipes passed down through generations. Gastronomic stands enliven the summer evenings, creating a convivial atmosphere where visitors can savor the flavors of Venetan tradition in a welcoming and authentic setting.

Beyond the food, the Antica Sagra del Carmine offers entertainment for all ages: live concerts, raffles, games, and attractions keep the event's energy vibrant throughout four consecutive days. It's a special opportunity to discover a small village hidden among the vineyards, to share festive moments with the local community, and to rediscover those values of conviviality and togetherness that characterize Italian traditions.
