SHOW COOKING AND BARMAN STYLE

A weekend dedicated to excellence in food and wine will take place at the historic Stazione Leopolda, bringing together some of the finest professionals in the Italian gastronomic scene.

The event, titled “Food and Wine in Progress”, will be held in parallel with the National Congress of the Italian Federation of Chefs, and will also feature the participation of the sommeliers from AIS (Italian Sommelier Association), creating a complete experience that celebrates taste, technique, and tradition.

More than 1,500 chefs will take part in the initiative, with many of them engaged in continuous show cooking sessions lasting over 30 hours. Visitors will be able to experience live culinary performances, discover innovative techniques, and witness the creativity of top-level chefs in action.

The event will also host around 150 wineries, presenting their finest selections and showcasing the richness of Italian wine heritage, offering tastings and direct encounters with producers.

Adding further energy and flair to the weekend will be the professional mixologists of Italian Barman Style, who will perform live cocktail preparation shows, presenting some of the most original and refined drinks in the contemporary bar scene. Their presence will culminate in an exciting cocktail competition, a true “last glass standing” challenge where creativity, balance, and presentation will make the difference.

This unique event transforms Stazione Leopolda into a vibrant hub of gastronomy and mixology, where chefs, winemakers, and bartenders come together to celebrate excellence, innovation, and passion for quality.

A weekend where cuisine meets artistry, and cocktails become performance.
