Vico Equense: Festa a Vico

Festa a Vico 2025: time to celebrate taste, roots and the future

It is time to slow down. To get around the table, not just to eat, but to share. It is time to return to feeling the authentic value of a simple gesture: toasting together. Festa a Vico returns again this year to remind us that food is not just nourishment, but storytelling, emotion, connection.

The new edition of Festa a Vico will be held on June 9, 10 and 11, 2025, in Vico Equense, once again transforming the Campania village into a capital of excellent Italian cuisine.

At the event you will find more than 300 Italian and foreign chefs, master of wine, sommeliers and more than 100 food and wine excellences.

An event that each year brings together chefs, producers, enthusiasts and the curious to celebrate taste as a living, collective experience.

Festa a Vico is not just a gastronomic event. It is an invitation to live taste as an experience, to find beauty in sincere gestures, to celebrate our land with awareness and passion.

It’s time to party. With gusto!
