Festa della Mela (Apple Festival)

The Festa della Mela in Zevio is an unmissable opportunity to discover one of the most iconic fruits of Verona's agricultural tradition. At the heart of the region from October 8-11, 2026, the festival celebrates the apple in all its forms, transforming this simple fruit into the star of a gastronomic journey that bridges past and present. During the festival days, visitors will be captivated by countless culinary creations: traditional sweets infused with cinnamon and nostalgia, authentic recipes from Venetian country cooking, and creative dishes that reinterpret this versatile ingredient. Each tasting tells a story of knowledge passed down through generations. Among themed markets and initiatives dedicated to local producers, Zevio becomes the perfect stage to celebrate the region's agricultural heritage. Live music performances, educational workshops on apple cultivation, guided tours of local orchards, and interactive activities for families and children are all on the program. It's a space of conviviality where the community gathers to share its traditions, and where tourists can experience firsthand the authenticity of a territory that has made the apple a symbol of quality and genuineness. The event is easily accessible with ample parking and dedicated areas for people with reduced mobility. General admission is free, while tastings and workshops offer affordable rates starting from 5 euros.
