Expovino Wong, the country’s largest wine festival, recently marked its twentieth edition with an unwavering commitment to providing its patrons with an exceptional experience. This year, the event expanded its wine offerings, allowing attendees to sample more than 1,200 labels of wines, piscos, sparkling wines, and spirits from over 170 booths during the three-day extravaganza. In addition to this impressive array of beverages, the festival featured an exquisite culinary showcase, interactive activities, and live music, celebrating all things wine and gastronomy.
As part of Expovino’s 20th-anniversary celebration, Wong unveiled its own wine, the ‘Rutini Expovino Malbec,‘ produced by the renowned Argentine winery, also the exclusive launch of ‘Hampton Water,’ a rosé wine created by the legendary musician Jon Bon Jovi, available exclusively at the supermarket.
The culinary experience at Expovino Wong was a highlight, featuring appearances by renowned chefs who left their mark on the festival’s gastronomic landscape. Mitsuharu Tsumura, of Maido fame, tantalized taste buds with his creations, while James Berckemeyer’s Pánguche and Francesca Ferreyros’ Baan offered delectable options. The lineup also included the culinary artistry of José del Castillo’s Isolina and José Luis Saumé’s Rossa Pizza Appassionata and El Hornero.
