Gavi Sotto il Forte (Gavi Under the Fort)

Gavi Sotto il Forte is the unmissable summer event for lovers of fine cuisine and Piedmontese wine. From July 31 to August 2, 2026, the charming village of Gavi comes alive with three evenings dedicated to the authentic flavours of local tradition, in a festive and welcoming atmosphere that engages visitors of all ages. A tradition dating back to the 1990s, when the local community decided to celebrate the region's food and wine heritage right beneath the walls of Gavi Fort, the historic symbol of the village. The event celebrates the gastronomic excellence of the region, from classic cuisine to contemporary proposals, all accompanied by the renowned local wines that have made this area famous worldwide. The festival offers a rich menu of characteristic dishes: from the celebrated ravioli to risottos with Gavi DOCG, from fried anchovies to amaretti representing the sweetness of local pastry-making. Alongside traditional dishes, local chefs offer creative reinterpretations that demonstrate how tradition can evolve while maintaining authenticity and quality. The three evenings are enhanced by live music accompanying dinners under the stars, creating a multisensory experience where food, wine, and music meet to create unforgettable moments. A perfect opportunity to discover the charm of the fortified village, stroll through medieval alleyways, and be captivated by the genuine flavours of Piedmontese gastronomy.
