The Sagra della Trota of Rezzo is an event with deep roots, among the oldest and most established festivals in the Arroscia Valley. Born from the tradition of local fishermen gathering to celebrate their catch from the Giara river, this festival gave rise to Rezzo's own Pro Loco and has evolved over decades into one of Liguria's most important gastronomic celebrations. Recognized as an Authentic Event of the Liguria Region 2026, it represents an unmissable opportunity to discover the authentic culinary traditions of inland Liguria. The undisputed star of the festival is naturally trout, prepared in three delicious ways: grilled, braised, and breaded. Each dish is crafted with local, zero-kilometer ingredients while respecting traditional recipes and showcasing the quality of local products. Alongside the main specialty, visitors can enjoy a wide selection of typical Ligurian appetizers made with local cheeses and agricultural products, paired with DOC, DOP, and IGT wines that enhance the genuine flavors of regional cuisine. The event takes place in the charming ‹La Pagoda› gardens in Rezzo, where local operators actively collaborate to showcase their finest offerings: from Vessalico garlic to local extra virgin olive oil, from gastronomy to fine wines. A celebration that brings together food and wine culture, tradition, and community—perfect for those seeking an authentic Ligurian culinary experience.
