Festa degli Gnocchi di Malga

On the mountains of Lessinia, among alpine pastures and breathtaking panoramas of the Verona region, the Festa degli Gnocchi di Malga comes to life: an event celebrating one of the most authentic dishes rooted in mountain culinary tradition. Here, gnocchi are not simply food, but a living story of gastronomic culture tied to alpine pasture life, prepared according to traditional recipes passed down by mountain dairies for generations.

During the three days of the festival (July 24, 25, and 26, 2026), gastronomic stands offer simple and genuine dishes that embody the essence of mountain cuisine: steaming gnocchi accompanied by alpine dairy cheeses, melted butter, and local specialty products. Each bite represents the deep connection between the land, its people, and their culinary traditions, in a welcoming atmosphere where conviviality reigns supreme.

The event takes place in Valdiporro, in the heart of the Lessinia region of Verona, open from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Gastronomic stands remain active throughout the day, while musical performances and cultural entertainment concentrate on evening hours. A unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the authentic atmosphere of mountain celebrations, where music, good food, and community blend harmoniously with Lessinia's natural landscape.
