Sapori e Saperi
In Arba, the festival that tells the story of the territory through taste and knowledge
About Sapori e Saperi
More than a food festival
There's a different way to tell the story of a place: not just through its dishes, but also through the people, the knowledge, and the skills that inhabit it. This is the idea behind Sapori e Saperi, the three-day event in Arba, a village in the foothills of Pordenone, which combines taste and knowledge in a program that goes far beyond the classic food festival.
Market, cooking, and walking
The weekend revolves around Piazza IV Novembre and focuses on local products: a market of local artisans and producers, zero-waste cooking demonstrations, and a lunch featuring local cuisine. The walking aspect is also present, with the guided walk "Silent Traces", a route of about 7 km through rural environments and ancient paths.
Community, energy, and well-being
Sapori e Saperi also dedicates space to reflection and well-being: evening talks in the library on energy communities and local development, exploring the link between agriculture and energy, and activities such as yoga and fitness. Organized by Pro Loco Arba with the support of the Municipality of Arba (Province of Pordenone), it is an event that intertwines food and wine, sustainability, culture, and community life.
