With the celebrations for the 60th birthday over, 2023 also promises well for the Costa Smeralda , ready to welcome the twelfth edition of the Porto Cervo Wine & Food Festival from 11 to 14 May , which follows another international event on the agenda in short, the Costa Smeralda Award scheduled for Saturday 6 May.
For the food and wine event there are 60 national and international wine cellars and 20 exhibitors of agri-food products on display at the Conference Center. The opening day will be dedicated to companies in the sector, oenologists, buyers and the specialized press. Matching supply and demand is essential for companies that want to expand market shares locally or export their products to other regions or abroad. In addition to business, entertainment for the public will also be central. The days open to the curious and enthusiasts are those from 12 to 14 May.
Every morning there will be talk shows and workshops on the most current topics related to the world of good drinking. In the afternoon, space for tastings starting at 3 pm while, in the evening, musical entertainment events are added. The moderator of the meetings with the experts will be Alessandro Torcoli, who also oversaw the scientific coordination of the entire review.
«After the three-year stop imposed by the pandemic, Smeralda Holding and Marriott International are resuming their action in support of the territory and the entire regional and national food and wine sector – explains Franco Mulas, Costa Smeralda Area Manager -. The Costa Smeralda wants to be, like other important regional destinations, an ambassador and at the same time a promoter of the excellence produced in Sardinia, in the Peninsula and in the world».
The Festival is promoted by Marriott International, on behalf of Smeralda Holding, a company owned by the Qatar Investment Authority.
