Wines from Gran Canaria have made a notable presence at San Sebastián Gastronomika 2026, one of the most important international gastronomic congresses, held from October 5th to 7th.

Juan Socas and Josefina Rojas, members of the Tasting Committee of the Regulatory Council of DOP Vinos de Gran Canaria, have been responsible for highlighting the quality, identity, and uniqueness of the island's wines. Their participation is part of promoting the wine-growing potential of Gran Canaria, with a special focus on wines from Bodega Ventura and Bodega Bentayga.
Gran Canaria's presence took place in the Gran Canaria Me Gusta space, where the island's wines shared the spotlight with Canarian gastronomy. Commented tastings and pairings of Bodegas Ventura wines with dishes prepared by participating Canarian chefs were held, selecting the references that best harmonize with each gastronomic proposal.
Josefina Rojas also delivered a presentation in the auditorium, while Juan Socas actively participated in the presentation and promotion of the wines, explaining their characteristics and unique features to attendees throughout the event.
This initiative is part of the Gran Canaria Me Gusta program, promoted by the Cabildo de Gran Canaria and the Chamber of Commerce of Gran Canaria, aiming to boost the promotion of local products and their international projection.
San Sebastián Gastronomika is a key international event for haute cuisine, annually bringing together chefs, sommeliers, producers, distributors, and specialized media.
