Tourism with Intention: Building a Better Island, One Bite at a Time

Siargao is more than a surf destination—it’s a cultural and ecological mosaic.

This festival aims to highlight the socio-economic impact of tourism, and how intentional food events can support local supply chains, heritage, and livelihoods across the island’s 9 municipalities.

A weeklong celebration of food, culture, and community.

The FIRST EVER Siargao Food & Wine Festival brings together chefs, carinderia cooks, farmers, foragers, and creatives across the island to showcase Siargao’s evolving culinary identity while creating space for meaningful conversations around sustainability, tourism, and community.
