Eruzioni del Gusto: food and wine born from fire

Eruzioni del Gusto is the food, wine, and tourism fair that every year brings together the best of Italian excellence at the foot of Vesuvius. An event that celebrates the creative power of volcanic territories—such as Vesuvius, Etna, the Campi Flegrei, and many others—through the products of the land, farming traditions, and food culture.

An unmissable event for those who love wine, good food, and the authentic story of the land.

The taste of volcanic lands

Held at the National Railway Museum of Pietrarsa, between Naples and Portici, Eruzioni del Gusto is a one-of-a-kind event. It brings together producers, chefs, journalists, buyers, sommeliers, and enthusiasts in a place full of charm and history, overlooking the Gulf of Naples.

During the days of the fair, guided tastings, show cooking, talks, masterclasses, and round tables take place. Wine, oil, bread, cheeses, desserts, preserves—every product tells the story of a land, its agriculture, and its creative “eruptions.”

Cantine Olivella among the protagonists

As a Vesuvian winery, Cantine Olivella enthusiastically takes part in Eruzioni del Gusto, presenting its wines born from the volcanic soil of Mount Somma. It is a special opportunity to meet wine lovers, share the story of our vineyards, explain native grape varieties such as Caprettone, Catalanesca, and Piedirosso, and engage with other producers from volcanic regions in Italy and abroad.

A fair between culture and innovation

Eruzioni del Gusto is much more than a fair: it is a meeting point between tradition and innovation, between scientific research and outreach, between tourism and sustainable agriculture. It is also a space to tell stories, highlight the work of small producers, and reflect on issues such as biodiversity, climate change, and the future of the agri-food sector.

An immersive experience where every glass and every taste become a sensory and cultural journey.
