Regional Food and Drink in Valencia

Over a hundred exhibitors will be taking part in the 20th edition of the Mostra de vins, caves i licors i XVIII d'aliments tradicionals de la Comunitat Valenciana from April 2nd-6th.

Leading wineries and cooperatives from the Region of Valencia, their denomination of Origin Governing Councils, the traditional sausage makers from Requena, Segorbe and Cocentaina, as well as the la Asociación de Formatgers de la Comunitat Valenciana [Cheese producers of the Region of Valencia] will be at their stands between the Calatrava and Flores bridges from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

There will of course be other interesting products, including the "chufas" or tiger nuts from Valencia, traditional Alicante spirits, olive oil, Arrop i Tallaetes, ecological cheese from Catí and not forgetting orange juice.

Among the many interesting activities taking place during La Mostra we should highlight the "Workshop of the Senses" and the Beginner's Wine-Tasting Course organised by the the Federación de Sumilleres de la Comunitat Valenciana [Wine Waiters' Association], CERAI and the Polytechnic University of Valencia.

The fair will also host the Cata Els Bodeguers prize-giving ceremony at bottles of wine will be signed by enologists from the Region's leading wineries. Tastings of sausages and cold meats, an exhibition of rice from the Region of Valencia and Traditional Dances will bring this successful event to a perfect end.
