The four-day Porto Cervo Wine & Food Festival is back. And it does so with a special edition dedicated to nautical, international trade and exports.
The prestigious event inspired by the world of wine and food is scheduled from 9 to 12 May: the first two days are open to international buyers, the specialized press and operators in the food and wine, tourism and nautical sectors, while on Saturday and Sunday the event will come to life by opening the doors to the public.
Organized by Marriott International, the 13th edition of the Porto Cervo Wine & Food Festival will host over 80 exhibitors this year. «Smeralda Holding and Marriott International continue their action to support the territory and the entire regional and national food and wine sector: the Costa Smeralda wants to be, like other important regional destinations, an ambassador and at the same time a promoter of the food and wine excellences produced in Sardinia, in the Peninsula and in the world", intervenes Franco Mulas, Area Manager Costa Smeralda. «The Porto Cervo Wine & Food Festival, in fact, is an international showcase that offers its exhibitors unique visibility opportunities, both abroad and within the most prestigious hotels, restaurants and bars on the Costa Smeralda, which serve every year more than 500 thousand covered to customers from the most varied geographical areas in the world".
Great news and the main theme of this year's event will be nautical, international trade and exports: operators from the nautical sector are expected in Porto Cervo, with the aim of bringing exhibitors together with nautical operators involved in the Wine & Food, so as to maximize opportunities also in a sector, such as the nautical one, which has recorded considerable growth in recent years.
Another novelty, proposed again after the great success of 2023, will be the "Fuori Fiera" events, a series of glamorous events open to the public. Signature cocktails, DJs and vibes available to the public: entry is free, drinks cost 10 euros.
