Fall 2018: Wine Tasting Seminars

Started in January 1999 by wine writer and educator Helio San Miguel, our successful wine program covers all the major wines areas, grape varieties, winemakers, and wine styles of Spain. Also, since its inception, the Instituto Cervantes Wine Program has been a privileged witness of the unprecedented revolution that is taking place in Spain since the 1990s, when a new generation of ambitious winemakers took the helm and transformed the country’s wine landscape. They RECOVERED forgotten grape varieties, DISCOVERED new regions, and crafted INNOVATIVE wines, from outstanding values to internationally sough-after cult wines that have garnered the highest accolades from the most influential critics.

During these two decades, the Instituto Cervantes Wine Program has become the reference point to taste the best Spanish wines and to keep pace with the latest developments, even before they are discovered by the American press.

To commemorate this milestone we offer a celebratory series of nine wine tasting seminars that will provide a comprehensive view of the changes in Spain’s wine landscape in the last twenty years, with an outstanding selection of wines.
