Saperi & Sapori: A showcase of Lazio's finest in Collepardo

Saperi & Sapori - Lazio Regional Excellence Fair is a food and wine event that brings the village of Collepardo, in the province of Frosinone, to life every late June. Hosted in the heart of the town at the Giardini Oreste Cicalé, the fair is dedicated to discovering the best of the Lazio Region's agri-food, craft, and cultural heritage. In just a few editions, it has established itself as one of the most popular events in the area, drawing thousands of visitors.

Local products, producers, and regional flavors

The heart of the event lies in the stalls featuring typical Lazio products, where visitors can discover and taste local specialties while meeting the producers and companies dedicated to preserving regional excellence. Cheeses, cured meats, olive oils, honey, preserves, wines, and desserts showcase the richness of a region with a thousand gastronomic traditions, from the Ciociaria area to the rest of Lazio.

Show cooking, tastings, and ancient crafts

Alongside the tastings, the program offers show cooking with local professionals, guided tastings, and moments of cultural insight. Significant space is dedicated to craftsmanship and ancient trades, with exhibitions that keep the memory of traditional techniques alive. There is also entertainment for all ages, making the fair a perfect outing for families.

A project to promote "Made in Lazio"

Saperi & Sapori was born with the goal of promoting quality production, traditions, and the identity of Lazio's territories. The event is realized with the support of the Lazio Region and ARSIAL (Regional Agency for the Development and Innovation of Agriculture in Lazio), thanks to the collaboration of municipalities and local entities. Each edition also hosts a debate dedicated to "Made in Lazio," bringing together institutions, producers, and trade associations.

Collepardo, a village in the Ernici Mountains

The fair is set in Collepardo, a small town nestled in the Ernici Mountains, famous for the nearby Certosa di Trisulti and the striking Collepardo Caves with the Pozzo d'Antullo. Visiting Saperi & Sapori is therefore also an opportunity to discover one of the most authentic corners of the Ciociaria and inland Lazio, blending nature, history, and fine dining.
