Five writers celebrate delight at the 50th Maestral Literature Evening
Vectalia Group celebrated a milestone this season at Maestral Restaurant in Alicante, marking 65 Literature Evenings held since the series began eight years ago. Notable writers such as Carme Chaparro, Sonsoles Ónega, Marta Robles and Javier Sierra participated in the celebration, with plans to attend Fitur and further engage in the event showcasing the city’s literary gastronomy scene. The anniversary drew a broad audience to the Vectalia stand, located in hall 10, stand 10C16, where enthusiasts explored the ongoing fusion of literature and cuisine that defines these nights.
The monthly gastronomic-literary evenings, hosted at Maestral, feature authors associated with the Planeta publishing group. Guests savor a menu inspired by a selected novel, complemented by a wine drawn from Casa Sicilia Winery in Novelda, creating a distinctive experience that pairs narrative with regional flavors.
One of the defining elements of these evenings is the themed wine that accompanies the reading and discussion. Attendees not only enjoy the literary exchange but also collect memories tied to the bottles, a keepsake of the unique wine and story pairing experienced during the night.
