Le Vie dei Sapori of Borgetto

Le Vie dei Sapori: Taste in the Streets

In Borgetto, a small town of just over seven thousand inhabitants overlooking the Gulf of Castellammare in the Metropolitan City of Palermo, the streets of the center come alive for Le Vie dei Sapori: a food and wine event that fills the alleys and squares of the town with scents, colors, and voices for a weekend. It is a festival celebrating the excellence of Sicilian cuisine, designed for residents and visitors alike who want to discover the authentic taste of this corner of Sicily.

Stalls, Local Products, and Street Food

The heart of the event consists of food stalls set up along the streets of the historic center. Here, you can taste products that tell the story of the agricultural economy of Borgetto and its territory: cheeses, meats, extra virgin olive oil, local wines, and traditional sweets, alongside the essential specialties of Palermitan street food such as panelle, arancine, and cazzilli. It is a culinary journey that highlights the local production of a town historically linked to agriculture, livestock, and the cultivation of olives, citrus fruits, grapes, and vegetables.

Music, Entertainment, and Village Atmosphere

Beyond the tastings, Le Vie dei Sapori offers live music, performances, and entertainment that accompany the evenings, creating the typical atmosphere of Sicilian village festivals. It is a convivial event where strolling among the stalls becomes an opportunity to meet up, listen to music, and breathe in the identity of a community celebrating its own gastronomic traditions.

Borgetto and Its Territory

Situated 290 meters above sea level, near Partinico, Montelepre, and Giardinello, Borgetto is known for the Sanctuary of Maria Santissima del Romitello and for a rich calendar of popular festivals that mark the year, from the patronal feast of Saint Mary Magdalene in July to the Christmas festival of local products. Le Vie dei Sapori fits perfectly into this town's tradition of celebration and sharing, putting the table and the flavors of the province of Palermo at the center of the experience.
