Even today, it is grown by a handful of custodian farmers who passionately preserve its seeds and the production techniques handed down through the generations.<\/p>\n<p>The event, which is free to enter, will take place from 10.00 to 18.00 and will offer a day entirely dedicated to celebrating this gastronomic gem and local produce.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the day, visitors will be able to explore the market featuring producers of the Drubiaglio White Onion, buy the product directly from them and gain an insight into the farms that safeguard this tradition. Alongside the local producers, there will also be Slow Food Presidia, Maestri del Gusto and numerous businesses from the Susa Valley showcasing local specialities.<\/p>\n<p>The star of the show will, of course, be the food, with stalls dedicated to traditional onion-based dishes, street food offerings, tastings and engaging cookery demonstrations, during which chefs will show how to make the most of this prized ingredient through traditional recipes and contemporary interpretations.<\/p>\n<p>The Welcome Tour will also return for the 2026 edition, organised in collaboration with Turismo Torino e Provincia.
