From 17 to 19 September 2026, Vinevent brings the wines of the DO Utiel-Requena to Gandia with four seaside experiences: a catamaran cruise, a visit to the Palau Ducal, an early-evening beach session and an aperitif by the sea.
Vinevent is the initiative created by the DO Utiel-Requena to bring its wines to the Valencian coast over the summer. After a first stop in Cullera in July, the second host town of 2026 is Gandia: the week of 14 to 19 September, with a trade presentation on the 14th and four activities open to the public from Thursday 17 to Saturday 19. Tastings and pairings designed for enjoying wine between the Port, the heritage of the Centre Històric and the beach bars.
