As part of the European Capital of Culture 2025 programme, GO! 2025 Nova Gorica – Gorizia is organising an international culinary event Tastes Without Borders, to be held from 26 to 28 September 2025 at Europe Square in Nova Gorica. A key part of the event will be the ECoC Taste Hub, showcasing the culinary and cultural offer of ECoC partners.

The call is open to all future, current, and former ECoC partners to co-create a rich culinary and cultural programme, including a conference on the future of food and sustainable nutrition, supported by the EU. The event will highlight food heritage, sustainability, and innovation.

It will feature a variety of culinary practices from across Europe and beyond, with a focus on products with protected geographical indications, local and artisanal food, the future of food (sustainable resources, innovation, food safety), and a wide range of beverages.

Each evening will include cultural and music programmes, creating a vibrant festival atmosphere. Suggestions for musicians and performers from your region are also welcome.
