The eighth edition of Salón del Vino Peruano will be an exceptional opportunity to enjoy the best national wines that have garnered recognition both within our country and abroad. From July 18 to 20, the new venue will be El Refugio Gastronomic Park. This event, organized by “Perú Hace Vino,” will feature the participation of over 30 winemakers from all wine-producing regions, where wine enthusiasts can enjoy more than 300 labels.
The 2024 edition offers an attractive week-long program consisting of symposia, wine pairing dinners, a wine fair, a national wine competition, and Catemos Peru.
“The Peruvian Wine Fair is steadily growing, and this year will be the largest ever held. We have the participation of small, medium, and large producers from Lima, Ica, Arequipa, Moquegua, Tacna, Apurímac, La Libertad, and now Cusco. We are excited to see this fair’s contribution to the growth of wine consumption in Peru, with more labels made from heritage grapes,” says sommelier Pedro Cuenca, director of the event.
“We have always aimed to showcase those labels that many people are unaware of, and that will undoubtedly be an excellent choice for restaurant menus, bars, stores, or any frequent consumption occasion,” Cuenca adds.
This edition is rich in innovations that will span the entire week. Here is everything you need to know about the eighth edition of the Peruvian Wine Fair to enjoy it to the last drop.
El Refugio is the New Venue
El Refugio is the region’s largest “Outdoor Gastronomic Park” project, located at Av. Javier Prado 4492, Surco. It boasts several certifications, including EDGE as a sustainable project, certified by the Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI), and awarded by the International Finance Corporation (IFC) of the World Bank. It offers a varied and substantial gastronomic experience. It’s a comfortable space where enjoying Peruvian wine and gastronomy is guaranteed. The Peruvian Wine Fair attendees will have around 30 food options to suit all tastes.
Wine Fair
The wine festival will be held from Thursday, July 18, to Saturday, July 20. More than 30 wineries from all producing regions will uncork over 300 labels, ranging from sparkling wines, dry and semi-dry whites, rosés, oranges, and reds to mistelas and late harvests.
In addition to wine tastings, a large bar will serve limited-edition wines, allowing attendees to enjoy small-batch Peruvian wines from wineries like Apu, Tacama, Wayucari, and Intipalka N°01, among other gems. Pisco, the spirit and sibling of Peruvian wine, will also be present. Brands such as Tabernero, Murga, and Tacama will offer a delightful experience with creative cocktails.
