Liguria Cuisine 2026

The Flavors of Liguria at the Old Port

Cucina Liguria is one of the most anticipated food and wine events in Genoa. Organized by CNA Genova, the event transforms the Calata Falcone e Borsellino at the Old Port into a grand showcase of Ligurian artisan production, hosted under a characteristic geodesic dome. A format that enhances the entire regional food supply chain, from producers to processors, telling the story of the link between territory, quality, and identity.

Tastings, Masterclasses, and Food Culture

The program alternates exhibition stands, themed tastings, and masterclasses led by experts. Among the protagonists are Riviera Ligure DOP Oil, IGP Taggiasca Olives, edible flowers from Albenga, products from biodistricts like Val di Vara, along with spirits, beers, and herbal liqueurs. There are also conferences, which each year focus on a specific theme: the 2026 edition centers on the link between nutrition, physical activity, and well-being.

Food and Sport: The Link with the Half Marathon

Cucina Liguria takes place in synergy with the Genoa Half Marathon, creating a bridge between proper nutrition and sports activity. This collaboration reinforces the message of quality food as part of a healthy lifestyle, and makes the Old Port a meeting point between taste and movement during the spring weekend.

A Showcase for Made in Liguria

With the collaboration of CNA Torino as well, the event presents itself as a showcase for territorial Made in Italy. For visitors, it's an opportunity to get to know Liguria's producers up close, purchase typical products, and delve into the gastronomic culture of a region with a thousand excellences.
