Forli – Sapeur

Here comes the 22nd edition of Sapeur, the food and wine fair in Romagna, at the Forli Fairgrounds Jan. 24-26.

Sapeur is a journey to rediscover the taste and culinary traditions of the Regions from all over Italy, among flavors, fragrances and the artisanal excellence of our food and wine. A walk among hundreds of regional stands offering free tastings for all palates. An extraordinary variety of typical and genuine food products , hard to find in large-scale distribution and retail food stores. Sapeur is divided into 4 thematic areas: inside, Forlì Wine Festival, a pavilion entirely dedicated to wine; Food is Health, dedicated to gastronomy not found in the supermarket, including organic; Happy Beer Festival with Italian and foreign craft breweries; and the Le Vie del Verde section dedicated to gardening.
