From 17 to 21 September, the fourth edition of Andorra Taste will be held—an international gathering of high mountain gastronomy. This year, the congress broadens its focus toward the Alps as the featured guest region, exploring its culinary diversity and new perspectives on alpine cuisine.

The event will also welcome leading chefs from Spain and France, along with representatives from other prominent mountain regions such as the Caucasus and the Balkans.

With this edition, Andorra Taste reaffirms its role as a global meeting point for reflecting on mountain cuisine as heritage, economic engine and cultural expression.
