ABOUT

For anyone who loves visiting local food producers while travelling in Italy, Corte Ciliegia is an excellent address to remember. The Corradin family grows thirty varieties of cherries, alongside peaches, apricots, plums, pears and other seasonal fruit. The farm occupies a restored country house in the Vicenza foothills. [1] The farm shop also stocks fruit preserves, juices, sweet and sour vegetables, fruit preserved in alcohol and baked goods made using the family's own preserves. And if you prefer the atmosphere of an Italian market, Corte Ciliegia also lists appearances at the farmers' markets in Marostica on Thursday mornings and Bassano del Grappa on Sunday mornings from May to August.
