Wine tourism initiatives in Spain

Overview

Various regions in Spain are hosting specialized enological and cultural events during the autumn season to promote local heritage and reduce tourism seasonality.

In Vilafranca del Penedès, the second edition of the Month of Wine Tourism is scheduled for November. Organized by the Vilafranca City Council, Vinseum, and the Wine Tourism School of Catalonia, the program includes professional workshops, wine tastings, and the 15th anniversary of the Most Festival. Other highlights include the II Wine Tourism and Sustainability Conference, the ‘Fira’t de Vi Novell’ on November 12, and the ‘Obrim Vi’ initiative featuring emerging micro-wineries.

In Valdeorras, the Ruta do Viño is extending activities to include storytelling and legend-based experiences at Castelo do Bolo, alongside historical circuits in A Rúa Vella focused on ancient wine cellars. In Segovia, the XVII Otoño Enológico offers 31 experiences integrating enology, gastronomy, and music, featuring wines from Ribera del Duero, Rioja, and Rías Baixas. This includes tastings paired with Michelin-starred gastronomy and the opening of new facilities at Ossian Vides y Vinos.

New regional expansions include Madrid Enoturismo’s “Bus del Vino” and new route guides to connect visitors with local landscapes. In Castilla-La Mancha, provinces like Ciudad Real offer guided tastings and organic farm tours. The Valencian Community has introduced the “Fuego y Vino” experience, combining tastings with traditional vertical barbecue cooking. Additionally, the country’s underground wineries, or “calados,” remain significant cultural attractions for historical tours.
