The Marostica cherry road is a suggestive itinerary that travels along the border of Piedmont from the outskirts of Bassano to Breganze.

This land is beautiful in spring, when the hills are covered with the white flowers of cherry trees. It offers its juicy harvest from the end of May to mid June. In the past, when it was dea stajon dee siarese (cherry season), almost every town spot and street became a market for the sale of this product, that was carried to the farthest markets with carts of every kind pulled by bikes that travelled vivaciously back and forth.

The trip starts in the pretty town of Marostica, known for its magnificent and picturesque live chess game, held every summer in Piazza del Castello. This town has dedicated to its delicious Marostegana cherry variety an exhibition that takes place on the last Sunday of May.

In Crosara, instead, a wonderful natural terrace that opens out onto the plain of the Brenta River, still grow as in ancient times the typical old cherry varieties and the late amaranth cherries, big and hard as walnuts.

In San Luca, a wonderful terrace hanging over the Laverda valley, it is still possible to find cornelian cherries, which are pulpy and curiously as long as the sour wild fruit.

Pianezze S. Lorenzo is the hometown of Sandra, a cherry variety celebrated on the second-last Sunday of May.

From Pianezze one descends to Melvena, another early production center and then on to Mason, the largest and most active cherry trading center.
