The story
The story of Cazzano di Tramigna
The Mora di Cazzano, Queen of the Cherry Trees
The Mora di Cazzano is the cherry variety that made the town famous well beyond the Val Tramigna: a fruit with a brilliant dark-red colour, firm flesh and intense flavour, considered among the finest in the whole province of Verona. Cherry cultivation developed on these hillsides thanks to particularly favourable climate conditions and exposure, making Cazzano di Tramigna a reference point for this fruit across the Veneto region. Between May and June, when the trees are laden with ripe fruit, the countryside around the town takes on a particularly striking appearance, with rows of cherry trees alternating with vineyards and olive groves.
The Provincial Show of Veronese Cherries
Since 1935, Cazzano di Tramigna has hosted the Mostra Provinciale delle Ciliegie Veronesi, organised by the Pro Loco under the patronage of the municipality, the only event in the province of Verona to hold the title of provincial show dedicated to this fruit. The event is traditionally held on the first Sunday of June and reaches its eighty-seventh edition in 2026, a milestone that reflects the continuity of a popular tradition deeply rooted in the community. The programme usually includes demonstrations of traditional crafts, musical performances and an award ceremony for the best local producers, in a festive atmosphere that involves the whole town and draws visitors from across the province.
Soave Vineyards and the Val Tramigna
Besides cherries, Cazzano di Tramigna's territory falls within the Soave production area, one of Veneto's most internationally known white wines, made mainly from Garganega grapes. The Val Tramigna, which gives the town its name, unfolds among vineyard-covered hills, with a landscape alternating orderly vine rows, woodland and small rural hamlets. This combination of products, cherries, wine and olive oil, makes Cazzano di Tramigna an example of diversified hillside farming, capable of offering points of interest across several seasons, from spring blossom to the autumn grape harvest.
Olive Oil and the Well-Tended Hills
Alongside cherry trees and vineyards, olive groves complete Cazzano di Tramigna's agricultural mosaic, a feature shared with several municipalities in the eastern Verona hills where the mild climate favours olive cultivation. Oil production, while not reaching the volumes of areas more specifically suited to it, integrates with the other crops in a diversified agricultural economy that has allowed the town to maintain a varied, well-tended landscape over time. Travelling the country roads that cross the municipality means passing, within just a few kilometres, vine rows, olive groves and orchards, in a mosaic that changes appearance with the seasons.
A Hillside Village to Enjoy Slowly
Beyond the events tied to its cherries, Cazzano di Tramigna remains a small hillside municipality whose daily life revolves around agriculture and the activities of the Pro Loco, the reference point for organising the town's events. It is not as crowded a destination as the nearby Valpolicella or classic Soave areas, and precisely for this reason it retains an authentic pace, made of family-run cellars, small orchards and a hillside landscape that invites visitors to slow down. For those who enjoy combining food, wine and nature without the pressure of large tourist flows, Cazzano di Tramigna offers a genuine stop in inland Verona.
