The Gastronomy Fair at Casa Pepa brings together the best wine producers in the Marina Alta with a vibrant scene of local art and craft. Visitors will find a dynamic mix of distinguished wineries, artistic exhibitors, and jewelry makers that showcase the region’s rich culture and culinary heritage.
The event opens with a professional-focused briefing. Wineries and audiovisual partners will share insights from vineyards around Cuenca and the Sierra de Gredos, while an artist whose practice emphasizes minimal intervention in winemaking explores a lifestyle closely tied to mood, resonance, sound, and music. This opening session sets the tone for a day that blends terroir with artistic expression and conversation about sustainable production and sensory experiences.
Around 11:45 a.m., a tasting session invites professionals, critics, and journalists to sample selections from six participating wineries. This curated tasting provides a snapshot of the region’s evolving portfolio, highlighting both long-standing estates and newer entrants that are shaping contemporary winemaking in the area.
The public tasting and fair hours begin around 1:00 p.m., when attendees can explore the fairgrounds, enjoy a cocktail, and sample a complimentary drink prepared by the Casa Pepa team. The atmosphere blends gastronomy with social connection, offering a relaxed setting where guests can savor paired bites and discover new favorites while learning about the stories behind each producer.
Beyond food and drink, the fair features exhibitors from leading wine houses and art-related ventures. Participating wineries include Celler del Roure, Les Freses de Jesús Pobre, Pepe Mendoza Casa Agrícola, Bodegas/Distribuidores Blasco, Montesanco, and Aural. Art and jewelry exhibitors include Botticelli Art and Musa de Oro, giving visitors a broad spectrum of culture that complements the tasting experiences. Every guest has the chance to participate in a special giveaway, with a prize that reflects the event’s premium nature: a bottle from Viñedos y Bodegas Sierra Cantabria, valued well over two thousand euros, a treasure for any collector and a testament to the event’s generous spirit.
