From 2 to 5 October 2026, the Palazzo Esposizioni in Pavia will be transformed into a large stage dedicated to food, innovation and local traditions, hosting Autunno Pavese, the province’s most eagerly awaited food and wine fair.

Now in its 72nd edition, the event is much more than a traditional trade fair: it is a true celebration of local identity and quality. Organised by the Cremona-Mantua-Pavia Chamber of Commerce through its special agency Paviasviluppo, Autunno Pavese aims to reaffirm the central role of Pavia’s food and wine sector as a driver of economic, cultural and tourism development.

The beating heart of the event, the Autunno Pavese Fair returns in 2026 with a completely renewed layout and an even richer programme, designed to offer visitors an immersive and engaging experience.

With exhibition stands, showcooking sessions and talks, the Fair brings together the general public, food and wine businesses and the outstanding products and producers of the Pavia area.
