Puerto Vallarta (PVDN) – The Mexican wine industry is growing by such leaps and bounds that Puerto Vallarta already provides a space to learn, taste, enjoy, and socialize around this drink: Vinoma Fest.
This festival is part of the vast gastronomic offer that has already positioned the city as one of the favorite destinations for gourmets, and hosts several annual events dedicated to food and beverage, such as Restaurant Week, Vallarta-Nayarit Gastronomic Festival, and the International Gourmet Festival.
Vinoma Fest joins the great offer of festivals of the destination, unique in its kind. It presents the perfect synchrony of dishes and labels for the ideal pairing, which also brings the great talent of the best Vallarta chefs and restaurants, which will once again make Puerto Vallarta the epicenter of Mexican wine, for the enjoyment of visitors and locals who come together”, commented Joel Ocampo, Public Relations Coordinator of the Puerto Vallarta Trust.
Unlike any other event, Vinoma Fest aims to show off the national wine on a beach and celebration setting that blends with Vallarta gastronomy.
In addition, it is not just a forum in which the splendor of Puerto Vallarta shines, since Aguascalientes is the featured guest of this second edition of the festival.
Taking advantage of the proximity between both states and given the powerful wine industry that is developing in Aguascalientes, this union fulfills the purpose of bringing attendees closer to the wine route produced in the state.
On this, Gloria Romo, Secretary of Tourism of Aguascalientes remarked that “the festival will allow us to publicize our harvests and the Wine Route, unique experiences that are becoming one of the best tourist offers in the region, at the same time that we show the tradition, landscape and culture of Aguascalientes wine”.
