Gavi under the Stars

Gavi under the Stars: A night of taste in the village

As evening falls, the ancient streets of Gavi, a refined village in the Province of Alessandria in the heart of Piedmont's wine country, fill with lights, aromas, and chatter. Gavi under the Stars is an evening festival organized by the Pro Loco of Gavi that symbolically kicks off the town's summer season: a widespread food and wine trail that winds through the historic center, inviting residents and visitors to take a leisurely stroll among stalls, scents, and traditions.

A gourmet trail through the town center

The village comes alive with food and wine stalls, street food offered by local restaurateurs, and booths dedicated to artisanal specialties. It is the perfect chance to discover the flavors of the Terre del Gavi: from traditional local ravioli to historic village sweets, all to be enjoyed while walking, with the option to pair every tasting with a glass of the region's finest wine.

The bond with wine: Gavi Docg

The evening is closely tied to the winemaking identity of this part of Piedmont, where Gavi Docg, a great white wine produced from the Cortese grape, is the absolute star. Gavi under the Stars takes place in conjunction with the inauguration of the Di Gavi in Gavi festival, a month-long event that lights up the hills of Gavi with tastings, concerts, shows, and cultural initiatives. The evening party in the village thus represents the popular and convivial opening moment, accessible and open to all.

Atmosphere and tradition

More than just a gastronomic event, Gavi under the Stars is a way to experience the village in its most authentic form: squares become meeting places, shops and restaurants spill out onto the streets, and the entire community participates in an evening that combines good food, music, and social life. For those visiting the Province of Alessandria and the Gavi territory, it is a perfect opportunity to savor Piedmontese hospitality in an intimate and evocative setting.

The event is organized by the Pro Loco of Gavi in the Municipality of Gavi (Province of Alessandria, Piedmont). The detailed program is published by the organizers in the weeks leading up to the event.
