About Red Chicory Fair
The Red Chicory Fair of Roveredo di Guà
The Verona Red Chicory Fair IGP takes place in the center of Roveredo di Guà, in the province of Verona, and is one of the leading events dedicated to this Protected Geographical Indication winter vegetable. The event is organized by the Pro Loco of Roveredo di Guà and attracts food and wine enthusiasts from all over the Bassa Veronese every year.
Red Chicory Takes Center Stage on the Table
The food and wine stands, open for lunch and dinner, focus on Verona Red Chicory IGP, paired with typical local products: the signature dish is radicchio risotto, alongside many other Veronese cuisine specialties. Guided tastings and pairings enhance a vegetable that is an authentic expression of the territory.
Tastings, Exhibitions, and Music
In addition to gastronomy, the fair offers exhibitions, awards ceremonies, educational sessions on chicory cultivation, and musical evenings. The inauguration kicks off three days of celebration that combine food culture, peasant tradition, and entertainment, confirming Roveredo di Guà as one of the reference points for Verona Red Chicory.
