The Monterrei Designation of Origin traveled to the city of San Sebastián on June 8 to present its wines and its new promotional campaign at a professional tasting event held at the prestigious Hotel Londres, located across from La Concha Beach on San Sebastián’s boardwalk
The presentation in this iconic northern city began with a tasting for sommeliers who are members of the Gipuzkoa Sommeliers Association (ASUGI), followed by attendance from professionals in distribution, the HORECA sector, and the trade press. This event allowed attendees to discover a wide selection of wines through a dynamic and engaging format. The showroom generated significant interest among the more than 80 professionals in attendance, who highly praised the quality of the wines, the work of the wineries and winemakers, the gastronomic versatility, and the balance between tradition and innovation that characterizes Monterrei’s wines.
