Activities
For the second consecutive year, the Regulatory Council has chosen the harvest season to promote its wines abroad. It will be during the third week of September, with the harvest of the native Airén variety in full swing, when a dozen import professionals will be able to learn all about the characteristic features of La Mancha D.O. wines, in situ.
Schedule and Setting
From September 16 to 20, importers will participate in different activities allowing them to gain a better understanding of the Manchego wine sector, right up close. To this end they will visit around seven wineries, hold meetings with wineries in different locations across La Mancha (Alcázar de San Juan, Socuéllamos, La Solana), and walk in the vineyards themselves.
The intensive programme will be topped off on a cultural level, with visits to charming sites of great tourist appeal, such as Toledo, Campo de Criptana, El Toboso, and the Caves of Tomelloso, as well as various lunches and dinners featuring wine pairings with the most distinctive dishes in Manchego cuisine.
From which countries are people coming to explore La Mancha?
In total, the promotional expedition will be comprised of a dozen future buyers. About seven will arrive from Mexico and Colombia, nations who have expressed a repeated interest in La Mancha’s wines, together with five importers from Japan, a country very drawn by the culture of Cervantes and Don Quixote in general, participating for the first time in a reverse mission on Manchegan soil.
