Gustatus in Orbetello
In Orbetello, every year since 13 years, in the period around 1 November there is one of the most eagerly awaited food and wine events of the year.
Born from the producers and the local entrepreneurs of the consortium Welcome Maremma with the Municipality of Orbetello, Gustatus hosts every year producers, artists and visitors from all over Italy.
Founded in 2006, Gustaus offers five days to discover the cultural, tourist and gastronomic traditions of the Maremma; from the first edition it started to grow every year more and now it is a real party inside Orbetello.
Gustatus 2018
This year from October 31st to November 4th in the streets of the town you will find local producers of wine, meat, oil, milk and cheese, honey and jams, spices, legumes and, of course, fish.
But Gustatus also offers various cultural proposals, in fact you will find art and photography exhibitions, historical re-enactments and shows.
Another fundamental part of the event is dedicated to educational workshops and guided tastings, organized by professional sommeliers who will accompany you to discover the wine making traditions of the area.
Not by chance, the symbol of the event is the Gustatus wine glass, available on the stands of “Welcome Maremma”, of the “Pavilion of Wines” and in the shops that show the “vendita bicchieri” sticker.
With € 5 you will have the glass, a brochure on the activities that will take place during the event and 6 tasting stickers, for those who have already the glass they can also buy only 6 stamps at a reduced price.
The village will be overwhelmed by aromas and flavors typical of the Maremma and you can taste local products or dine in the Gustatus’s Restaurant, where every night the best chefs in the area will alternate and propose different menus or in many restaurants, affiliated with the event, present throughout the town of Orbetello.
Over the years the event has been increasingly enriched by bringing tens of thousands of people to visit it. Since 2010, year after year, the stands of the Arte Cioccolatiera, Filiera Corta and Emergency have been permanently added.
In recent years, Gustatus also opened itself to other regions with a street dedicated to the discovery of an italian region every year different.
Healthy food, excellent wine and local products will be the protagonists of this event that collects the traditions of this great and rich territory.
