About MieleBello

In July, Roncobello, a small municipality in the Upper Brembana Valley, dedicates a day to the honey produced in its mountains with MieleBello. In Piazza Centrale, a market of local agricultural products provides the backdrop for workshops for adults and children, from breakfast "with the bees" to sensory analysis, from using honey in cooking to educational games on beekeeping, up to the "Ape Drink" aperitif with local products. A delicious and educational festival organized by the Pro Loco, defined as "the sweetest event of our summer".

A day dedicated to honey

MieleBello is the festival that the Pro Loco Roncobello dedicates to the honey of the Upper Brembana Valley, produced in the mountains of this small municipality in the province of Bergamo. Defined by the organizers as "the sweetest event of our summer", it takes place in July in the Piazza Centrale of the town and is an event that combines taste, nature, and education.

Honey market and workshops

The heart of the day is the market of local agricultural products, open for most of the day. Around it revolve the workshops: from breakfast "with the bees" with sensory analysis, to the use of honey in cooking, to educational activities for children dedicated to the importance of bees for the environment. It is a way to introduce adults and children to the world of beekeeping and the value of a product that is emblematic of the mountains.

From Ape Maia to Ape Drink

The afternoon ends sweetly with a snack accompanied by Ape Maia, while the evening is dedicated to the "Ape Drink", an aperitif with local products. MieleBello is a simple and well-curated festival, capable of telling the story of the Upper Brembana Valley through one of its most authentic flavors, in the heart of the province of Bergamo.

MieleBello — edition 2026

MieleBello is expected, as is tradition, on a day in July 2026 in the Piazza Centrale of Roncobello, with the market of local agricultural products, workshops on honey for adults and children, snacks, and the Ape Drink aperitif, organized by the Pro Loco.

For 2026, MieleBello returns to Roncobello, organized by the Pro Loco, on a day in July in the town's Piazza Centrale. The event confirms the formula that combines the market of local agricultural products with workshops dedicated to honey and beekeeping, with moments designed for adults and children.

The precise date, times, and details of the workshops will be communicated by the Pro Loco Roncobello in the weeks prior.
