Vinoble 2024, Tasting Programme

From 26 to 28 May, the historic Alcázar of Jerez will provide the setting for the 12th edition of Vinoble, the International Exhibition of Noble, Fortified, Liqueur and Special Sweet Wines.

During these three days, Vinoble 2024 will bring together winemakers, restaurateurs, journalists, sommeliers and winelovers to learn about, and taste, some of the best wines in the world. Complex and authentic wines that convey the uniqueness of their territories, their natural conditions and, above all, their noble histories.

This year, the Vinoble tasting programme is more international than ever and, although some sessions have yet to be published, we can announce many of them here, in a wide and varied programme which takes take us from Greece to the Canary Islands and from Andalusia to La Rioja.

Are you ready to come aboard for this trip around the world of wine? If so, take note: these are the main tasting sessions of Vinoble 2024.
