Festa a Vico 2026

Festa a Vico 2026: the event created by Gennaro Esposito returns to the Sorrento Coast, with star chefs, signature pizza, tastings and events dedicated to Italian cuisine.

From June 14 to 17, the Sorrento Coast will host a new edition of Festa a Vico, the event conceived by chef Gennaro Esposito which every year brings together big names in Italian and international catering among signature dinners, tastings, meetings and events dedicated to contemporary gastronomic culture.

Born in Vico Equense, the event now involves several locations on the Coast, transforming into a large diffuse path dedicated to taste, conviviality and solidarity.

Theme 2026: “The intelligence of the hands.”

The theme of the 2026 edition will be “Intelligence of the Hands, Knowledge on the Plate,” a theme that celebrates the value of craftsmanship, technique and knowledge behind every great cuisine.

Chefs, pizza makers, producers, pastry chefs and artisans of taste will be the protagonists of an event that tells the story of Italian cuisine as a cultural, identity and human heritage.

The most anticipated appointments

Among the most anticipated events is the return of “Quella Pizza a Vico – Spicchi di Genio,” the big evening dedicated to signature pizza with some of Italy’s leading master pizza makers.

Also on the program:

• “A promise is a promise,” dedicated to young talents in Italian cuisine;
• “That Pairing in Vico,” an event dedicated to encounters between cuisine, wine and mixology;
• “Brothers in Food,” a format combining haute cuisine, conviviality and territory.

An event that combines cuisine and solidarity

Since its inception, Festa a Vico has supported numerous charitable projects and associations in the area. In fact, part of the proceeds from the events is donated to charitable initiatives, making the event an event that combines gastronomy and social commitment.
