Meta Mare in Festa: Gourmet Tasting Trail
published on 03/09/2025
Meta Mare in Festa: the gourmet festival that turns the Sorrento Coast into a map of flavors
In the heart of the Sorrentine Peninsula, the seaside village of Meta is ready to transform into a true atlas of taste.
From September 10 to 12, 2025, the Marina of Meta will become an open-air tasting trail: a map that is not only a guide but a genuine sensory journey, blending flavors, music, and live performances.
With a single tasting ticket (€15.00), visitors can enjoy 2 first courses, 2 second courses, one dessert, a glass of wine, and coffee or limoncello, choosing among specialties offered by local beach clubs and restaurants.
The official map of the Marina di Meta guides visitors through the location of food stands, the evening menus, and the placement of street performers, making the festival a fully immersive and well-organized experience.
