Go Makers 2026

Regional Craft Expo & Market. Food Lab & Tasting featuring local products and native varieties. Culture and insights.

GO MAKERS – Mani d’Arte & Calici di Gusto is a cultural and experiential event celebrating the finest expressions of Gorizia’s regional craftsmanship, local food heritage, and artisanal know-how.

On 16 and 17 May 2026, the atmospheric setting of Via Rastello and Casa Krainer will welcome visitors to a vibrant programme featuring a curated artisan market, experiential workshops, live demonstrations of traditional craft techniques, cultural talks, and special features dedicated to local heritage.

Staged as a walking route through the historic quarter, the event invites visitors to experience the city through the people, skills, and products that shape its identity. 

Guests will meet master makers and artisan producers, discover carefully selected handmade creations, and explore traditional knowledge reinterpreted in contemporary ways.

The programme also includes food labs, tastings, and sampling sessions led by artisan food producers, with a focus on local products, native varieties, and the flavours of Friuli Venezia Giulia, alongside initiatives developed in connection with regional Slow Food Presidia.

Designed for visitors seeking an authentic and engaging way to experience Gorizia, GO MAKERS transforms the historic centre into a journey through craftsmanship, taste, and culture.
