Custoza Broccoli Rassegna
The winter festival dedicated to the rare Custoza broccoli
About Broccoli of Custoza
The Broccoli, Custoza's Jewel
The Custoza Broccoli Rassegna is the winter event that in Custoza, a hamlet of Sommacampagna (Verona), celebrates a rare vegetable with a very short season, deeply linked to the agricultural history of the territory. Organized by the Pro Loco Custoza and the Producers' Association, it is a journey into taste through the morainic hills south of Lake Garda.
A Month and a Half of Taste
The festival is divided into several events: "Flavors of the Broccoli" and "Broccoli in the Square" under a heated marquee in Piazza Nuova, themed dinners "Broccoli on the Table" in restaurants, the "Slow Food Earth Market" in Sommacampagna, and "Saturdays of Taste" with guided tastings of Custoza DOC wines paired with broccoli products. Concluding the event is the historic Marcia di Custoza.
Custoza, Land of Wine and History
Custoza, also known for the Risorgimento battles and for Custoza DOC white wine, welcomes enthusiasts and curious visitors every winter around this unique product, in the heart of the Veronese morainic hinterland of Garda.
