Running for over 20 years at the Belvedere San Martino, this festival pairs fresh seafood with Cortese white wine — a surprising combination this far inland, but Gavazzana sits close enough to the Ligurian border that its cuisine carries real coastal influence, including brandacujun, a Ligurian potato-and-stockfish dish. Fritto misto is the headline dish, alongside seafood linguine, octopus, and mussels, reached via a free panoramic shuttle train from the parking areas.
