The wild hop festival in Visinale del Judrio
For almost half a century, at the end of May, the hamlet of Visinale del Judrio (Corno di Rosazzo) has celebrated a spontaneous and precious product of Friuli: 'glaudins', the tender wild hop shoots that grow along the woods and waterways. They resemble wild asparagus but have a more herbaceous and slightly bitter taste, and it is around them that one of the most characteristic festivals in eastern Friuli revolves.
The signature dish is the 'glaudins' omelette, 'fertae cui glaudins' in Friulian: a humble dish of peasant tradition, linked to spring harvesting, which the festival has transformed into the absolute protagonist. Alongside the omelette, the food stand offers the flavors of Friulian cuisine, accompanied by local wines.
Evenings alternate between aperitifs with DJs, traditional dinners, music, and dancing, culminating in the game of 'morra', an ancient hand game that persists in Friulian festivals, and the craft market. A forest bathing experience is also available, recalling the festival's connection with the surrounding nature.
Organized by the local Pro Loco with the support of the Municipality of Corno di Rosazzo, the Sagre dai Glaudins is above all a community event: a way to keep a unique gastronomic tradition alive and to rediscover the spontaneous flavors of the Judrio hills.
The 2026 edition of the Sagre dai Glaudins is scheduled from May 22nd to 25th in Visinale del Judrio. Four days dedicated to wild hops and their omelette, the signature dish of Friulian tradition, amidst typical cuisine, music, and the festival's most beloved rituals: from the game of morra to the craft market.
Throughout the festival, the food stand will be open, serving the 'glaudins' omelette and Friulian specialties.
Visinale del Judrio is a hamlet of Corno di Rosazzo (UD), reachable by car from the A4 motorway (Palmanova or Villesse-Gorizia exit).
Admission to the festival is free; food service is paid at the stands. Updated program available through the Pro Loco and the Municipality of Corno di Rosazzo.
