Gastronomy and Traditions

Among Ticino’s greatest riches are without doubt its food and wine – made from healthy and authentic produce that originates locally, and elaborated according to ancient local traditions.
The result: a thousand flavours that marry tradition and modernity in every dish and every wine glass. You can taste these seasonal delicacies – local salami, Merlot wine, cheese from the alpine pastures and other gourmet treats – at all manner of attractive venues, from sophisticated restaurants to typical inns or "grotti".
