The Monterrei Wine Fair closes its most successful edition ever.
With more than 36,000 tastings sold across three days, the 19th edition of the Monterrei Wine Fair in Verín has set a new attendance record in the history of the event. Visitors came from all over Spain, Galicia and northern Portugal, confirming the Fair as one of the main showcases of Galician wines.
The response was visible beyond the tasting halls: wine and gastronomy sessions and showcookings with local products reached full capacity a week before the event began, and the gastronomic offering doubled the number of food stalls compared with previous editions.
According to Manuel Vázquez, President of the Monterrei PDO Regulatory Council, the figures "demonstrate the potential of Monterrei wines and show that the path we have embarked upon is delivering results" — with a clear drive to bring the Fair closer to new and younger audiences.
A great way for the region to celebrate its wines before the harvest — which began here last week.
