From 16 to 20 September, Andorra will host the fifth edition of Andorra Taste, the international high-mountain gastronomy gathering. This year, the congress turns its focus to France as the guest territory, exploring its culinary diversity and new perspectives on Alpine cuisine.

Renowned chefs from the Alps and the Pyrenees will also take part, together with representatives from other benchmark regions such as Catalonia, the Sierra de Guadarrama, Castilla-La Mancha, Andalusia and Roussillon.

With this edition, Andorra Taste reinforces its role as an international meeting point for reflecting on how territories shape their identity through cuisine and the role that fine dining can play in preserving natural, cultural and food heritage.
