In the La Rioja region of Spain, two major agricultural and cultural events are scheduled for mid-September. The 57th La Rioja Agricultural Contest, organized by Fundación Caja Rioja, CaixaBank, and the regional government, will feature farmers from ten localities competing in categories such as fruits, vegetables, organic products, and nuts. The contest places a specific focus on innovation and generational renewal through awards for young farmers under 40.

Concurrently, the III Planeta Rioja International Wine Festival will take place in Logroño from September 10 to 13. Hosted at the Centro de la Cultura del Rioja, the festival includes the ‘Nuestros encuentros’ series, which consists of nine discussions exploring the intersection of wine with gastronomy, journalism, sports, and music. The program aims to examine the cultural identity and global influence of Rioja wine.
