The Auditori de Vilafranca del Penedès will host the awards ceremony for the best Catalan wines on Friday 8 October.

There are only a few hours left until the Vinari Awards gala for the best Catalan wines of 2021. The awards ceremony, which this year reaches its ninth edition, will take place at the Auditori de Vilafranca del Penedès from 10:10 pm, and can be followed live on Canal 33, in an event hosted by the writer Màrius Serra. The celebration will include, among others, the participation of Mag Lari, who will be livening up the day with a magic show.

The results of eight wine categories and the special awards will be announced at the autumn gala. It is worth remembering that in July the best young wines (white, red, young sparkling and rosé categories) were awarded prizes, as well as the wine tourism awards, and that last September the final tasting of the wines that will now be presented at the gala was held. Thus, this Friday, the results in the remaining categories will be announced, awarded the Grand Gold, Gold and Silver medals, as well as the special awards for this year’s edition.

• Crianza Whites

An agreement to promote heritage

The digital portal Vadevi.cat and the Corporació Catalana de Mitjans Audiovisuals (CCMA) signed a new collaboration agreement this summer to give a voice to the Catalan wine sector in 2021. The agreement is part of the CCMA’s mission of promotion and dissemination, and its commitment to guarantee coverage of major cultural events and, in this case, also of the country’s gastronomic wine heritage.
