A touring culinary festival across Colombia
The Davivienda Restaurant Tour 2026, organized by Fundación Corazón Verde through its Alimentarte platform, is billed as Colombia’s leading international gastronomic event. Running from August 10 to November 5, 2026, it will stage 17 unique dinners in Bogotá, Barranquilla, Cartagena, Medellín, Cali and Neiva.
The tour builds on a proven format: earlier editions have brought together more than 1,500 diners across 30 of Colombia’s most recognized restaurants. Typical dinners use a “six-hands” approach, where one international chef, one local Colombian chef and one emerging national talent collaborate on a single evening’s menu.
World-class chefs and top Colombian restaurants
The 2026 edition will bring 17 international chefs of worldwide renown. While the full chef lineup for 2026 has not yet been published, prior editions have featured names such as Gaggan Anand (Thailand), Mitsuharu Tsumura (Peru), João Rodrigues (Portugal), Jordan Kahn (United States) and Francisco Ruano (Mexico).
These visiting chefs cook alongside Colombian talent in some of the country’s most prestigious restaurants. In a previous Bogotá edition, participating venues included Harry Sasson, Leo, El Chato, Oda, Pajares Salinas, La Sala de Laura, Osso and Afluente, among others.
Tickets, pricing and how to book
Tickets for the Davivienda Restaurant Tour 2026 are available through the official Fundación Corazón Verde website and allied platforms. In past editions, tickets were also sold via atrapalo.com.co, with a 15% discount for Davivienda bank customers.
Pricing from earlier Bogotá editions gives an order of magnitude: dinners ranged from COP 300,000 at select venues to COP 1,000,000 at top-tier restaurants, typically including wine or drink pairing. Exact 2026 prices are to be confirmed closer to the dates.
A social cause at the table
The Restaurant Tour is not just a commercial culinary event. In previous editions, 100% of the surplus proceeds were donated to Fundación Corazón Verde.
Those funds directly support social initiatives aimed at improving the quality of life for widows, orphans and police officers with disabilities in Colombia, giving diners a direct link to a charitable cause.
Why this matters for expats and visitors
For expats and long-stay visitors, the Davivienda Restaurant Tour 2026 offers a structured way to explore Colombia’s high-end gastronomy scene across multiple cities in a single season. It places international culinary prestige squarely inside Colombia, reducing the need to travel abroad for world-class dining experiences.
The event also signals that Colombia’s hospitality and tourism infrastructure continues to mature, making it an increasingly attractive destination for food-focused travelers and those considering relocation or investment in the country’s lifestyle and real estate sectors.
