Queen of the festival is the PGI cherry, which you will find at the companies of excellence on Mazzini Avenue, which will offer the different varieties on one side we have the tenerine, small-sized, light-fleshed and tender, and on the other the duroni, larger, dark and crunchy. Don't worry about having to choose, the saying “one pulls the other” applies to both.
The season has just begun the Vignola cherry in fact begins to be harvested in the last weeks of May until mid-June, and you can bring to your table cherries freshly picked from the fields by hand as tradition dictates.
Great as a snack or at the end of a meal, they are perfect for mouth-watering sweet recipes, and for those who feel like trying their hand in the kitchen, we await your creation for the Vignola Cherry Pie Contest on Saturday, June 1 in Piazza dei Contrari.
Strolling along the streets of the historic center you can stop in the food courts Emilian food and wine stands open all weekend, with a wealth of local offerings including crescentine, borlenghi and fritti of all kinds to accompany a good glass of wine and excellent beer.
Piazza dei Contrari with the majestic Rocca di Vignola fortress and the fascinating Palazzo Barozzi will be the setting for a series of events among history, show cooking and tastings. Saturday, June 1, don't miss the performance of the Castelli Orchestra at 9 p.m. Contrari Square.
