There are few places where the art of living is as evident as in Porto Cervo. Nestled in the emerald waters of the Costa Smeralda, this iconic destination is not only a haven of serenity and refinement, but also a place where elegance reigns supreme in every season. Every May, it hosts one of the most eagerly awaited cultural and gastronomic events: the Porto Cervo Wine & Food Festival. From 8 to 11 May 2025, the event will be held at the Cervo Conference Centre, in the heart of the village. This annual celebration brings together wine experts, food lovers and international producers in a vibrant and refined atmosphere. The first two days (8 and 9 May) are reserved for professionals, while the general public is warmly invited on 10 and 11 May for a programme rich in tastings, masterclasses and live events.
Now in its 14th year, the Porto Cervo Wine & Food Festival confirms its status as Sardinia's most exclusive gastronomic event. With renowned Sardinian estates, Michelin-starred chefs and international culinary talents, the festival offers a true immersion in the most refined flavours of the Mediterranean.
From exclusive tastings to cooking demonstrations and mixology sessions, every detail is designed to enhance the art of taste and hospitality. Over two full days, the public will be able to meet artisans, discover rare vintages and savour the harmony between land, sea and expertise.
And for those who wish to prolong this exceptional interlude, the festival becomes a unique opportunity to discover Porto Cervo from the inside, in the comfort of one of the most elegant villas in the region.
At Barnes Porto Cervo, we invite you to explore our exclusive selection of residences available during the festival, each offering a private retreat just minutes away from the excitement of the event.
