Galway’s hunger to be designated an official European Region of Gastronomy 2018 will come to a head next month with the presentation of the Bid Book to an international jury of experts.
The European Region of Gastronomy (ERG) is not just a culinary award; the programme is designed to link food, hospitality, tourism and culture. Other key areas for the gastronomy project include educating for better health and sustainability.
A European Region of Gastronomy title would create ample opportunities to promote Galway and the West of Ireland as well as creating a legacy of improved food quality for future generations while supporting local food producers and food traditions.
