Pioneer of the Slow Food movement, Italy invites farmers, fishermen and other small-scale producers from far-flung pockets of the world to the biennial Salone Internazionale del Gusto (Hall of Taste) at Lingotto Fiere in Turin. Expect top-quality gastronomy.
Chefs, sommeliers, restaurant owners, wholesalers and food lovers peruse utterly delicious regional produce from across Italy and food from obscure places in the market's maze of stands. Suck the claws of rock lobster from Robinson Crusoe Island in Chile's Juan Fernandez archipelago and sample rich yak cheese produced in the Tibetan mountains.
Sip your way through some 2,500 labels of world wine at the Enoteca and sign up to a Taste Workshop, where world-renowned chefs lead cooking demonstrations. Celebrated Italian or international chefs also cook for visitors in Piedmont's grand castles, villas or restaurants at the exclusive Dinner Dates. Since 1996, the fair has emphasised the union of gastronomy and the environment and encouraged food to be selected for its provenance and history.
