It is already from 23 to 26 February that the Palácio da Bolsa hosts the 19th edition of Essência do Vinho. This year, the event is marked with a novelty: the debut of "Wine & Travel Week", the first international wine tourism fair, which will bring to Portugal representatives of the main wine tourism destinations in the world and an international entourage of buyers.

Essência do Vinho will once again affirm Porto as the meeting point of the world of wine and wine tourism, with a showcase of the best wines produced in Portugal. "The event goes beyond the place where Portuguese wine is made, promoted and positioned like no other in the country", said Nuno Guedes, founder of Essência do Vinho.

Regarding the first international wine tourism fair, Nuno Guedes guarantees that "it will be a professional and business fair, which will also promote the sharing of knowledge about a fast-growing sector of the activity in the world, through a forum with journalists, experts and opinion leaders, and an experience program that includes itineraries and technical visits to various regions of the country".

Tickets for the 19th edition of the main wine experience in Portugal are already on sale online and at promotional prices.
