Piazza Culinaria

Open your home and be part of a very special evening: Piazza Culinaria brings people together—with good food, warm hospitality, and inspiring cultural exchange. As part of Swiss Culinary Week, this special evening takes on even greater significance.

A special highlight: Mauro Caviezel will be making a personal appearance at one of the venues on September 26. If his sports schedule permits, Gino Caviezel will also be part of Piazza Culinaria.

A Culinary Experience and a Gathering

As the host, you’ll prepare a regional three-course surprise menu and welcome your guests—either outside in the garden or in the comfort of your home, depending on the weather and temperature. But it’s about more than just the food: it’s the conversations, getting to know new people and cultures, and sharing the experience together that make this occasion unforgettable.
