En Giro en tra le Cort
A culinary tour through the courtyards of Mezzana's historic center
About En Giro en tra le Cort
A journey through time and taste in the courtyards of Mezzana
En Giro en tra le Cort is one of the most anticipated summer events in Mezzana, a small town in the Val di Sole, in the Province of Trento (Trentino-Alto Adige). It is a culinary and cultural itinerary that winds through the streets, old cellars, and ancient courtyards of the historic center: each cort (courtyard) opens its doors to welcome visitors and offer a typical dish of Trentino cuisine, in a route to be savored stop by stop, from appetizer to dessert.
The flavors of Trentino tradition
The heart of the event is the rediscovery of typical dishes from the Val di Sole and Trentino. Among the specialties that have enlivened the courtyards of Mezzana in past editions are canederli (bread dumplings), formai rostì (typical fried cheese from the valley), minestra de orz (barley soup), local cured meats, and traditional desserts. The theme accompanying the event — «ancient flavors and mysteries of the past» — perfectly captures the spirit of an evening dedicated to bringing the scents and customs of the mountain life of yesteryear back to life.
Music, dancing, and community spirit
It is not just about the food: along the route, folk music, dancing, and entertainment frame the itinerary, making the village even more enchanting. The event is born from the involvement of the entire Mezzana community, with local associations and the Mezzana-Marilleva Tourist Consortium acting as organizers. It is an authentic opportunity to discover the hospitality of a mountain village and experience the historic center in a different light, illuminated by the colors of the festival.
Where and when
The meeting point is at Mondo Legno, at Via IV Novembre 90, the starting point of the itinerary that then branches out through the courtyards towards Piazza Trento and the streets of the center. The event typically takes place in the evening, in the heart of the Val di Sole summer. It is an event designed for families and food lovers, combining fine dining, popular tradition, and the backdrop of the Val di Sole mountains.
