The Comissão Vitivinícola do Algarve (CVA) is eagerly preparing to participate in the upcoming edition of FINE #WineTourism Marketplace, the leading event in the wine tourism sector set to take place on the 13th and 14th of March, 2024.

Representing the viticultural essence of one of Portugal’s most emblematic regions, the CVA takes on a leading role in preserving the quality and authenticity of Algarve wines, ensuring that every drop reflects the richness and diversity of its terroir.

Since its foundation, the CVA has been at the forefront of the certification and promotion of wines with Denomination of Origin (DO) and Geographical Indication (GI) from the Algarve, significantly contributing to the sustainable development of viticulture in the region.

With a deep commitment to impartiality and excellence, this entity has managed to position Algarve wines on the international scene, highlighting its native varietals and innovative adaptation of international grape varieties.

By participating in FINE #WineTourism Marketplace, the CVA not only aims to strengthen the visibility of Algarve wines but also to promote an intimate and enriching approach with wine lovers and professionals in the field.

This fair, held in Valladolid, presents the perfect stage to explore the wine culture of the region, offering a unique platform for the exchange of knowledge and experiences.

The CVA’s Enotourism Proposal

The enotourism proposal of the Comissão Vitivinícola do Algarve focuses on offering an authentic and multisensory experience that goes beyond wine tasting.

At FINE #WineTourism Marketplace, visitors will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the winemaking history of the Algarve, a region with a rich legacy marked by the Phoenicians, the Carthaginians, and an Arabic influence that still persists in its architecture and viticulture.

Enotourism in the Algarve is distinguished by its intimate connection with the landscape, where the sea breeze and fertile soil give life to wines of exceptional quality and character. The CVA promotes wine routes that tour emblematic wineries, offering tastings that reveal the diversity and uniqueness of each variety, from robust and elegant reds to fresh and aromatic whites.

Furthermore, the CVA strives to create experiences that harmonize wine with local gastronomy, highlighting the perfect pairing between the flavours of the Algarve and its wines. This approach not only enriches the enotourism experience but also fosters appreciation for the culture and traditions of the region.

The CVA’s commitment to sustainability and innovation is reflected in its viticultural practices, which will be shared with attendees at FINE #WineTourism Marketplace. Through workshops, talks, and guided tours, visitors will be able to closely learn about the meticulous production process, from vine to bottle, ensuring a deep understanding of the value and quality of Algarve wines.

A promising future

The participation of the Comissão Vitivinícola do Algarve in FINE #WineTourism Marketplace not only represents an opportunity to showcase its wines and rich winemaking history but also to consolidate the Algarve as a top enotourism destination.

The CVA is committed to promoting responsible and quality enotourism, inviting exploration of the beauty and diversity of the Algarve through its wines.

Looking towards the future, the CVA intends to continue innovating and raising the standard of its wines, always with the goal of exceeding the expectations of wine enthusiasts and professionals in the sector.
