About Flavors of the Sea

Sapori di Mare brings the taste and traditions of Chioggia cuisine to the heart of Vigonza, in the province of Padua. For two weekends, Piazza Enrico Zanella transforms into a seaside village, with typical blue fish dishes, historic Adriatic recipes, sea scents, and live music. A free-entry food and wine festival that bridges the Paduan hinterland with the great gastronomic tradition of the lagoon.

The sea in the square in Vigonza

Sapori di Mare is the food and wine festival that brings the authenticity of Chioggia cuisine to Piazza Enrico Zanella, in the center of Vigonza, in the province of Padua. For the occasion, the square transforms into a real seaside village, with decorations, scents, and atmospheres reminiscent of the Adriatic.

Blue fish and traditional recipes

The menu is a journey into the gastronomic tradition of Chioggia: from blue fish to historic seafood recipes, prepared with care by the organizers. It's an opportunity to discover or rediscover a genuine and popular seafood cuisine, far from trends and faithful to the roots of the Venetian lagoon.

Music and conviviality

Alongside the food, the evenings are enlivened by live music, in a festive and convivial atmosphere that is the hallmark of the event. The kitchens open in the evening, with the option of takeaway, and admission is free.

A traveling format that stops in Vigonza

Sapori di Mare is a format that travels around the Veneto region, bringing Chioggia cuisine to the squares of the hinterland. The Vigonza stop, promoted with the Municipality, is now an anticipated event in the calendar of happenings that animate Piazza Zanella throughout the year.
