About Festa della Mela
The Verona apple sagra
The Festa della Mela di Zevio is a historic autumn event in the Veronese area: with over seventy years of editions, it is one of the most beloved sagre in the province of Verona. Zevio, along the Adige River, has always been linked to apple cultivation, and every year it celebrates this symbolic fruit of the territory with a great community festival.
The apple in all its forms
The heart of the event is the apple exhibition, accompanied by tastings and the presentation of the fruit in numerous preparations, from traditional desserts to peasant cuisine recipes. Creative workshops, treasure hunts, guided tours, conferences, and games for all ages revolve around the apple, enhancing local agricultural culture and gastronomic traditions.
Four days of celebration
The Festa della Mela also offers refreshment areas, spaces dedicated to local associations, and the funfair, in a program that combines taste, fun, and socialising. A moment of meeting and conviviality that for over half a century has marked the autumn of Zevio and the eastern Veronese area.
