Thirty-five people fill the historic wine tourism tasting in El Puerto

The commented tasting of wines of historical inspiration held in the Sala Mudéjar of the Palacio de Araníbar filled all 35 planned places. Attendees travelled through the history of wine through four proposals: mulsum (wine with honey), rose wine, violet wine and cinnamon wine, each with a pairing inspired by the gastronomy of the period. The company Tripmilenaria, directed by Javier Ramírez, doctor in History of Science and professor at the Universidad de Cádiz (UCA), and Juan Miguel Pajuelo, archaeologist with more than thirty years of experience, explained to the public the birth of wine and its use in imperial Rome (1st to 3rd centuries AD).

This Saturday, November 7, there is a free guided visit to Bodega de Forlong and Viñedos with a tasting of its wines, and a free guided tasting with aperitif at Viña La Torre. On Sunday, November 8, at 11:00, Viña La Torre hosts a pilates class led by a professional instructor. Among the private proposals, Bodega Gutiérrez Colosía offers a visit with tasting of its wines and tapa, which can include six wines and six tapas at the restaurant Bespoke, from November 3 to 7. The free guided bike route between vineyards, wetlands, casa de viña and albariza landscapes, with a glass and aperitif at the Casa de Viña «La Bendita Locura», with departure and arrival at the CEAAN Coto de la Isleta, has been postponed to Sunday, November 22 due to the forecast of rain. The set of events, which includes the private initiatives, is expected to exceed two hundred and fifty people, according to the Ayuntamiento de El Puerto de Santa María. The concejala de Turismo, Olga de Navas, has stated that wine tourism allows the attractions of the city to be combined and boosts the local economy beyond the high season.
