Premium Italian food fair Maestri Del Gusto returns to Hong Kong

It’s no surprise that Hong Kong’s dining scene is full of global influences – from international restaurants to speciality grocers that curate global products and easily let you recreate dishes at home. One standout is Mercato Gourmet, a purveyor of authentic Italian ingredients and artisanal produce.

After its successful debut in 2024, Mercato Gourmet’s celebrated food fair, Maestri Del Gusto, returns this April. Organised by the store and chef‑founder Gianni Caprioli, the fair showcases artisanal products from independent producers and renowned Italian brands. Taking place at The Peninsula Hong Kong from April 18 to 19, this year’s edition features more than 30 premium food and drink brands, including cheese, cured meats, pasta, chocolate and Italian wines. What’s more, guests can interact with brand representatives, enjoy live music performances, join pizza-making workshops, and watch pasta-making demonstrations from celebrated culinary figures.

While Maestri Del Gusto is exclusive to Mercato Gourmet members, this food fair should not be missed. Aside from exclusive discounts and monthly deals, members will get 10 percent off on all purchases made at Mercato Gourmet’s location at The Peninsula during the event. Visit Maestri del Gusto’s website to get your tickets and for more details.
