After a six-year absence, the Mostra de Vins i Caves de Catalunya is resuming its annual event in Barcelona to celebrate its 40th edition. The showcase, organized by the Institut Català de la Vinya i el Vi (INCAVI), will take place from December 11-13 on the Lluís Companys promenade. This year, the event aims to highlight the richness and diversity of Catalonia's wine heritage with the slogan "An entire country in a bottle".
The event invites visitors to discover different territories, landscapes, grape varieties, appellations of origin, and winemaking approaches all in one place, as "within each bottle lies a story, an origin, and the people who, with knowledge and dedication, make this diversity possible." This edition is conceived as a collective celebration bringing together winemakers, professionals, and the public around wine, gastronomy, and culture.
The Lluís Companys promenade will be organized into distinct areas: the Catalan Wine and Cava Promenade, serving as the main hub for tastings and direct interaction with wineries; La Plaça, the social and festive heart with gastronomy and music; Tasting Rooms, for in-depth knowledge of wines and appellations; and the Enotourism Space, showcasing Catalonia's wine landscapes and routes.
The Showcase, established in 1980, has always been a meeting point for producers and the public. Its revival seeks to update the format and ways of engaging with wine, maintaining its mission to promote and connect the sector with consumers. Its timing shortly before the Christmas holidays reinforces the celebratory theme, encouraging the incorporation of Catalan wine into shared moments.
