Wine & Travel Week’s professional meetings are taking place at the Soares dos Reis National Museum today and tomorrow, and include those responsible for wine tourism projects, agents and operators, tourist entertainment companies, specialists, associations and other professionals in the field.
Wine & Travel Week aims to position itself as a global event dedicated to luxury wine tourism, to boost projects and brands.
The galleries of the Soares dos Reis National Museum, a leading cultural and artistic institution with an international collection, will be “an inspiring setting for doing good business”.
Wine & Travel Week, a gathering that brings together professionals from all over the world, counts in this second edition with a delegation of over 100 buyers and specialized journalists in enotourism, joined by members from the capitals of the world’s major wine regions, the Great Wine Capitals (GWC). South Africa, Spain, France, India, England, Israel, Japan, Nigeria, and Portugal are some of the countries represented.
Among the event’s many parallel activities, the lunch on February 20th stands out, crafted by chef Rui Paula (holder of two Michelin stars at the Casa de Chá – Paço da Boa Nova restaurant), to be served at the Soares dos Reis National Museum.
It’s important to emphasise that, for the first time, Wine &Travel Week will have a guest region: Castile and León (Spain), which will take advantage of its presence at the initiative to stage the world premiere of the show “Merina: the Spanish gold. Oteiza”. The stage will be the Coliseum of Porto, in the late afternoon of February 20th.
Wine & Travel Week is an organisation of Essência Company.
