Mele a Mel
The festival of apples and zero-km products in the historic centre of Mel
About Mele a Mel
Apples take centre stage among Mel's courtyards
In the village of Mel, part of Borgo Valbelluna (province of Belluno), Mele a Mel returns every autumn, the festival dedicated to apples and zero-kilometre products from the region. The event enlivens the historic centre and winds through the noble 16th-century courtyards of the village, a setting that alone is worth the visit.
Autumn flavours and local products
Apples grown in the area are the focus of tastings and gastronomic offerings: strudel, juices, risottos, homemade desserts like 'Zumeloti'. The local produce market completes the offering with mountain cheeses, Dolomite honey, grappas, cereals, dried fruit, and local vegetables.
Not just taste
- Tastings featuring apples and traditional desserts
- Local produce market: cheeses, honey, spirits, legumes
- Choral singing festival at the San Pietro Auditorium
