Valdepeñas will celebrate the tenth edition of ‘Jóvenes & Selectos’ on March 8 and 15, an initiative promoted by the Tourism Department of the Town Hall to showcase the new wines from seven participating wineries.
This year, the event will return to its traditional format with in-person tastings, aimed at introducing the new wines and promoting the wine culture. Vanessa Irla, Deputy Mayor of Culture and Tourism, emphasized the importance of wine as part of the town’s identity, a source of wealth, and a major tourist attraction.
‘Jóvenes & Selectos’ will feature a paired tasting and a guided tasting. On March 8, at 8:00 pm, the Wine Museum will host the guided tasting, featuring three rosé wines and four white wines, led by Rocío Martín from the wine-related events company By Cio Martin. Tickets for this tasting, priced at 8 euros, will be available for purchase starting February 28 at the Valdepeñas Tourist Office.
On March 15, the paired tasting will take place at the La Confianza Cultural Center at 9:00 pm, offering the opportunity to sample three white wines, one rosé, and three red wines paired with tapas selected by the wineries. Limited to 180 attendees, tickets for this tasting, priced at 15 euros, can be purchased from March 5 at the Tourist Office.
Vanessa Irla highlighted the collaboration of Globalcaja, the Valdepeñas Wine Route, the Wine Museum, and the seven participating wineries: Bodegas Arúspide, Bodegas Félix Solís, Bodegas Navarro López, Bodegas Megía e Hijos, Cooperativa Vinícola de Valdepeñas, La Bodega de las Estrellas, and Selección Lucendo.
