Pomaria — Val di Non PDO Apple Festival

Pomaria 2025 in Denno: the 19th edition

On Saturday, October 11 and Sunday, October 12, 2025, the Renaissance village of Denno, in Val di Non, hosted Pomaria for the first time, the grand PDO apple harvest festival now in its nineteenth edition. The event, organized by the Apple and Flavors Route of the Val di Non and Val di Sole with the Municipality of Denno and the Autonomous Province of Trento, opened on Saturday at 10:00 AM with the local producers' market, workshops, and tastings.

Among the most appreciated experiences were the Melatour, the colorful tractor that took visitors through the orchards (Saturday from 1:30 PM to 6:00 PM, Sunday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM), tastings of PDO apples and typical Trentino products, workshops dedicated to "smalzadi" and valley cuisine, the new Art Street along Via Roma with local artists' studios, and children's shows by the Circo Bolla di Sapone. Admission to the main activities was free; continuous shuttles were active from the parking lots at the COBA fruit consortium and a camper area near the Melinda COBA warehouse.
