Catalonia, guest region at Expovinos Bogotá 2023

Catalan wines take centre stage at Expovinos 2023, Colombia's most important wine fair, organised by Grupo Éxito, the country's largest retail chain, held this year in Bogotá from 2 to 5 August.

Catalonia is the guest region of the 18th edition and Catalan wines had their own space under the brand "Catalonia, where food is culture". Several Catalan wineries and companies took part with Prodeca in the Espai Catalunya, where they could exhibit and promote their wines and cavas in one of Latin America's fastest-growing markets for the sector. 

The Espai Catalunya aims to promote Catalan wine as an origin of quality and tradition, under the brand "Catalonia, where wine is culture", introducing our wineries to Colombian professionals and consumers. 

Tastings and talks at the Espai Catalunya

Various activities were organised during the fair, talks and wine tastings with Catalan wine as the star, to position Catalan wine with Colombian consumers. Anna Vicens, chair of the Catalan Sommeliers Association, held a conversation with managers of the wine distribution and import companies Marpico and Dislicores about new white varieties. 

On Thursday 3 and Friday 4 several tastings are scheduled, led by Anna Vicens and José Rafael Arango, sommelier and technical director of Expovinos, at the Espai Catalunya, where attendees can try wines and cavas from Clos Montblanc, Juvé&Camps, Raventós, Vins Algars, Nits de Boira and Codorniu. The final tasting will be held in the fair's Main Hall and will focus on Catalonia's designations of origin and flagship varieties.
