During the event, visitors will have the opportunity to taste white wines; rosés and reds; dry, sparkling and sweet, as well as spirits and older vintages from a total of 25 different tables to be set by the Association’s members.

Furthermore, wine producers will bring new labels, experimental wines, fresh and older vintages, as well as wines of the 2018 harvest and older.
