Wine tasting for cruise tourists
PDO Valencia offers excellent wines and gathers 13,000 hectares of vineyards divided in four production subzones, each of them filled with picturesque and charming villages.
It is an open and dynamic designation of origin with a great exporting tradition, being today the third of Spanish exporting producers.
Being concious of the increase of cruise tourists and their interest in wine culture, the Regulatory Board of PDO Valencia started an attractive wine tasting program in 2011, addressed to cruise passengers.
PDO’s Taste Valencian’s Wines program offers different custom and entertaining proposals where cruise tourists can learn about wine culture, discover different varieties and taste our excellent wines.
PDO Valencia provides several tasting packs tailored to suit tourists’ expectations.
Experts will host wine tastings at CR Vinos dependencies located in Valencia’s downtown.
