Ein Prosit Summer Edition 2027, Tarvisio, Italy

What to expect in 2027

Ein Prosit Summer Edition 2027 is expected to return to Tarvisio and the wider Tarvisiano area in Friuli Venezia Giulia during July 2027, continuing the event’s combination of gastronomy, wine, hospitality, culture and the mountain landscape. The official Summer Edition programme has traditionally been designed as an immersive food and wine experience rather than a conventional food festival concentrated in one exhibition venue.

The event brings together renowned chefs, restaurants, wine professionals, producers, food experts and local hospitality businesses. Its programme is built around several complementary formats, including special chef dinners, guided wine tastings, food laboratories and drinks experiences.

The Summer Edition also makes the surrounding landscape part of the experience. Events have been staged at Lago Superiore di Fusine, one of the best-known natural attractions of the Tarvisiano, while chef dinners take place at participating restaurants in Tarvisio and the surrounding area.

The most recent published programme illustrates the scale and style visitors can expect. The 2026 edition featured chefs including Giacomo Sacchetto, Enrico Marmo, Giacomo Devoto, Diego Rossi, Francesco Brutto, Massimiliano Mascia, Matias Perdomo, Fabrizio Mellino, Francesco Sodano, Marco Visciola and Jacopo Chieppa. Several participating chefs represented Michelin-starred restaurants.

The 2027 chef roster, individual menus and complete programme should be confirmed by the organisers closer to the event. Visitors can therefore expect the established Ein Prosit Summer format while allowing for new chefs, restaurants, wines and culinary collaborations.

Event dates

July 2027 (Dates TBD)

The official 2027 schedule has not yet been announced. The Summer Edition normally takes place across multiple days and has previously been organised over separate summer weekends, allowing visitors to combine culinary activities with a longer stay in the Tarvisiano.

The final 2027 programme is expected to specify the dates and times of individual dinners, tastings, laboratories and other activities once confirmed by the organisers.

Visitors planning accommodation or travel should wait for the official programme before making arrangements based on specific event sessions.

Venue & festival site

Ein Prosit Summer Edition does not operate from one traditional festival ground. Activities are distributed across Tarvisio and the surrounding Tarvisiano territory, allowing the event to combine restaurants, natural attractions and dedicated tasting locations.

Ristorante Edelhof has been a principal venue for the chef dinners. The restaurant is located at Via Armando Diaz 27 in Tarvisio and has hosted several of the recent Summer Edition dinners featuring visiting chefs.

Another important location is Lago Superiore di Fusine, where the recent programme has presented guided wine tastings and food laboratories. This setting gives visitors an opportunity to experience the event within the mountain landscape rather than exclusively inside restaurants.

Other restaurants and hospitality venues in the Tarvisiano may be included depending on the final 2027 programme.

Full food & drink programme

The food and drink programme is expected to follow the established Ein Prosit Summer structure, combining high-level restaurant dining with educational tastings and regional food experiences.

The principal programme formats include:

• Chef-hosted dinners
• Multi-course tasting menus
• Guided wine tastings
• Food and wine pairing experiences
• Regional food laboratories
• Friuli Venezia Giulia product presentations
• Local producer showcases
• Bartender and drinks experiences
• Special culinary collaborations
• Experiences connected with the Tarvisiano territory

Recent editions have placed strong emphasis on bringing chefs from different parts of Italy and neighbouring culinary regions to Tarvisio. These collaborations allow participating restaurants to create special menus rather than simply reproducing their normal restaurant offering.

The programme also gives particular attention to Friuli Venezia Giulia ingredients and traditional products. Recent laboratories have featured Pitina IGP, local cheeses, frico, regional salumi, traditional biscuits, local wines and other products associated with the region.

Featured foods & specialties

Regional Friulian cuisine forms an important part of the Summer Edition’s identity. The programme uses local products as a way of introducing visitors to the culinary traditions of Friuli Venezia Giulia and the wider border area.

Recent food laboratories have highlighted products including Pitina IGP, Cipolla di Cavasso, frico, regional salami, Sant’Agnese cheese, corn-based specialities and traditional sweets. These products have been presented alongside regional wines and other beverages.

Visitors can also expect contemporary interpretations of Italian cuisine through the guest-chef dinners. Recent menus have included modern interpretations of pizza, pasta, vegetables, seafood, meat and regional ingredients, depending on the visiting chefs and host restaurant.

The event’s mountain setting also creates a natural connection with local Alpine and border-region food traditions. The broader programme has historically used gastronomy as a way of presenting the character of the Tarvisiano territory.

Restaurants, vendors & producers

Ein Prosit Summer is primarily restaurant- and producer-focused rather than a large street-food market. Visiting chefs collaborate with restaurants in Tarvisio and the surrounding area to create special dinners for festival guests.

Ristorante Edelhof has hosted a significant portion of recent chef dinners, with participating chefs from restaurants across Italy. The 2026 programme included collaborations involving restaurants such as Trippa in Milan, Venissa in Venice, Contraste in Milan, San Domenico in Imola, Quattro Passi in Massa Lubrense, Il Marin in Genoa and Famiglia Rana in the Verona area.

Previous Summer Editions have also used other Tarvisiano restaurants, including Ristorante Golf Club Ai Confini and Hammerack Hotel in Malborghetto. The 2025 programme demonstrates that the venue selection can extend beyond Tarvisio itself.

Regional producers also play an important role through the food laboratories, where individual products are presented and tasted alongside explanations of their origin, production and culinary characteristics.

Wine, beer & beverage selection

Wine is one of the central elements of Ein Prosit Summer. Guided tastings introduce participants to Italian and international wines while focusing on grape varieties, production methods, territories and food pairings.

Recent tastings have included wines from Friuli Venezia Giulia, Alto Adige, Emilia-Romagna, Veneto, Campania, Lombardy, Portugal and France. A dedicated session explored wines produced using the Charmat method beyond the usual association with Prosecco.

Ribolla Gialla has also received particular attention in the programme, reflecting its importance in the Friuli Venezia Giulia and neighbouring border wine scene. Recent tastings have brought together wines from producers in Friuli and nearby Slovenia.

Beer is also represented, particularly through regional tasting experiences. Recent laboratories included craft beers from the Gorizia border area alongside Friuli food products.

The programme has also included after-dinner amari and grappa, including products from Nonino Distillatori during recent chef dinners.

Tastings, cooking demos & workshops

Guided tastings are a major component of Ein Prosit Summer. Recent sessions at Lago Superiore di Fusine have been led by wine specialists and have combined wine education with themes ranging from picnic wines to regional grape varieties and wine culture.

Recent tasting subjects have included European picnic wines, Charmat-method sparkling wines and comparative tastings of Ribolla Gialla and Pinot Nero.

Food laboratories provide another educational element. Recent sessions led by Bernardo Pasquali and PromoTurismo FVG have explored Friuli Venezia Giulia products through guided tasting and storytelling.

Examples include:

• Pitina IGP and other mountain products
• Regional cheeses
• Frico
• Traditional salumi
• Friulian wines
• Corn-based specialities
• Traditional sweets
• Craft beer from the border area

Recent editions have made some of these laboratories free for eligible participants holding the relevant concert ticket, with places subject to availability and advance confirmation. The exact conditions for 2027 should be checked when the new programme is published.

Ticket types & entry options

Ein Prosit Summer uses different participation arrangements depending on the activity.

Chef dinners are paid experiences and are generally limited in capacity, with reservations handled through the participating restaurants. The most recently published Summer Edition dinner prices ranged from approximately $105 to $150, depending on the menu and chef collaboration, with wine included in the listed dinner packages.

Recent examples converted to USD include:

• Chef dinner: approximately $105
• Higher-level chef dinner: approximately $128
• Premium chef dinner: approximately $150

These are reference prices based on the most recent published edition and are not confirmed 2027 prices.

Guided tastings and food laboratories have followed a different access model. Recent editions offered some of these activities at no additional charge to holders of the relevant concert ticket, subject to limited capacity and registration requirements.

VIP & premium experiences

Ein Prosit Summer does not currently present a standard VIP pass in the same way as a large commercial music festival.

The premium experiences are instead built around the programme itself. Chef dinners with nationally and internationally recognised chefs provide the most structured gastronomic experience, often combining a multi-course menu with selected wines.

Recent dinners have included wine and, in some cases, after-dinner amaro and grappa experiences. The chef collaborations can also provide opportunities to experience restaurants and culinary styles that are not normally available in Tarvisio.

For 2027, any VIP, hospitality or special-access options should be considered unconfirmed until published by the organisers.

Event rules

Ein Prosit Summer activities are subject to the individual conditions established by the organisers and participating venues.

Chef dinners are limited-capacity experiences and require advance reservation. Previous official programme materials specifically state that the dinners are paid, limited-number events with booking through the host restaurants.

Visitors should also follow the rules of individual restaurants and tasting venues.

Important considerations include:

• Advance reservation may be required.
• Limited-capacity events can sell out.
• Visitors should arrive at the specified venue in good time.
• Dietary requirements should be communicated to the restaurant when booking.
• Alcoholic beverages should be consumed responsibly.
• Visitors attending outdoor activities should consider mountain weather conditions.
• Programme changes should be checked through official Ein Prosit channels.

The organisers may modify programme details when necessary.

How to get there

Tarvisio is located in northeastern Italy in the province of Udine, close to the Austrian and Slovenian borders. Its position makes it accessible from several directions and particularly suitable for a combined Italy-Slovenia-Austria trip.

By car, Tarvisio can be reached through the A23 motorway, which connects the area with Udine and the wider Friuli Venezia Giulia road network.

The nearest major urban centre is Udine, while Austria and Slovenia are both close to Tarvisio. This makes the Summer Edition suitable for visitors travelling through the Alpine border region.

Because activities are distributed between Tarvisio, restaurants and locations such as Lago Superiore di Fusine, visitors should check the individual venue for each reservation rather than assuming every event takes place in the town centre.

Public transport & parking

Tarvisio is served by regional rail and bus connections, making public transport a practical option for visitors arriving from other parts of Friuli Venezia Giulia.

Tarvisio Boscoverde railway station is the principal rail connection for the area. Local buses and taxis can then be used to reach central Tarvisio and other participating locations.

For visitors driving, parking availability depends on the individual venue and activity. Restaurants and outdoor tasting locations can have different parking arrangements, particularly around Lago Superiore di Fusine.

Visitors should allow additional travel time when moving between event locations and should check local road conditions before travelling into the mountain area.

Accommodation areas

Tarvisio is the most convenient base for visitors attending several Ein Prosit Summer activities. Staying in or close to the town allows easier access to participating restaurants and reduces the need for repeated long-distance driving.

Useful accommodation areas include:

• Tarvisio town centre
• Tarvisio Boscoverde
• Camporosso
• Cave del Predil
• Valbruna
• Malborghetto
• Sella Nevea
• Areas around the Fusine Lakes

Malborghetto can be particularly useful when the programme includes restaurants or hospitality venues in the wider Tarvisiano.

Visitors staying for several days can also use the event as a base for hiking, cycling, lakeside visits and other mountain activities.

Food & drink highlights

The defining feature of Ein Prosit Summer is the combination of fine dining, wine education and regional food culture.

Key highlights include:

• Guest-chef tasting menus
• Michelin-recognised chefs
• Friuli Venezia Giulia regional products
• Guided Italian and international wine tastings
• Ribolla Gialla and other regional varieties
• Charmat-method sparkling wines
• Craft beer
• Regional cheeses and salumi
• Pitina IGP
• Frico
• Traditional Friulian sweets
• Local agricultural products
• Amaro and grappa
• Food and wine pairing experiences
• Culinary activities in the mountain landscape

The recent programme has particularly emphasised the relationship between food, wine and territory, with tasting activities held at Lago Superiore di Fusine and regional-product laboratories presented by local tourism and agricultural organisations.

Accessibility

Accessibility can vary between individual Ein Prosit Summer locations because the programme is distributed between restaurants, outdoor areas and natural locations.

Restaurants such as Ristorante Edelhof provide a conventional hospitality setting, while outdoor activities around Lago Superiore di Fusine require visitors to consider terrain, weather and the distance between parking areas and activity locations.

Visitors with specific accessibility requirements should contact the organisers or the individual venue before booking.

The organisers can provide information about individual locations and programme arrangements once the 2027 schedule has been released.

Best days to attend

Because the 2027 dates and complete programme have not yet been announced, specific days cannot currently be identified.

For visitors interested primarily in fine dining, the best opportunity will be the programme sessions featuring the guest chefs whose menus and restaurants are announced for 2027.

Wine enthusiasts should look for the sessions listed under guided tastings, particularly those held in scenic locations such as Lago Superiore di Fusine.

Visitors interested in local cuisine and regional products should look for the food laboratories, which have recently focused on Friuli Venezia Giulia ingredients, traditional recipes and regional wines.

Those wanting the fullest experience may prefer to stay for several programme days once the final schedule is published, allowing time for both restaurant dinners and daytime tastings.

Previous year’s highlights

Recent Summer Editions have featured a strong combination of guest chefs, restaurant dinners, guided wine tastings and regional food laboratories.

The most recently published programme included chefs such as Diego Rossi, Francesco Brutto, Massimiliano Mascia, Matias Perdomo, Fabrizio Mellino, Francesco Sodano, Marco Visciola and Jacopo Chieppa. Several were associated with Michelin-starred restaurants.

The programme also included guided tastings by Francesco Annibali and Gae Saccoccio. Subjects ranged from European picnic wines and Charmat-method sparkling wines to comparative tastings focused on Ribolla Gialla and Pinot Nero.

Food laboratories led by Bernardo Pasquali and supported by PromoTurismo FVG explored regional products including Pitina IGP, local cheeses, frico, salumi, traditional sweets and Friuli wines.

Previous editions have also used several restaurants across the Tarvisiano, including Ristorante Edelhof, Ristorante Golf Club Ai Confini and Hammerack Hotel. This distributed format allows the event to connect gastronomy with the wider destination rather than limiting activities to one location.

Official tickets

The official 2027 ticket programme has not yet been announced.

Based on the most recent Summer Edition structure, chef dinners are paid, limited-capacity experiences requiring advance reservation. Previous published dinner prices have ranged from approximately $105 to $150, with wine included in the listed packages.

Guided tastings and food laboratories have had separate access arrangements. Some recent activities were free for holders of the relevant concert ticket, subject to limited capacity and registration.
