Where is Venetian cuisine heading? This was the question at the heart of "A tavola con le Venezie” (Dining Venetian-style), a guide edited by VeneziePost that tells about the territory through the magnifying glass of food culture. The guide is not a mere ranking of the best restaurants available, but a narration of culinary customs, the rediscovery of forgotten products and the economic and social dynamics that span across Venetian lands.

And those were also the themes of the A tavola con le Venezie 2014 award ceremony that took place on November 24, 2013 as part of CulT Venezie - the European Culture Forum of the Venetian region. The event was attended by: Luigi Costa, author of the guide; Filippo Di Lenardo, Founder of Elite RetrEat Italy; Norbert Niederkofler, Executive Chef at St. Hubertus Restaurant of Rosa Alpina Hotel.

A big applause went to the recipient of Loison’s "Gusto Dolce delle Venezie“ Award (The sweet taste of Veneto): Herbert Hintner, Chef at Zur Rose in Appiano (BZ) because "sweetness is the first taste we experience in life and Zur Rose has the ability to transform this feeling into a multi-faceted trip down memory lane". The reward to Herbert Hintner was presented by Dario Loison, who also handed him a "symbolic check" worth five hundred Euros to spend on Loison products, as a way to add value to the award and to celebrate those who highlight the excellence of the food and wine produced in the Venetian region, in a process that promotes the development of the area which is the key to understanding the local "food culture".
