February 26 to the 3rd of March 2008 are the dates for the 2nd Vallarta Wine Fest. The Festival organizing committee said the first fest (2007) was such a success there was no doubts in holding a 2nd. 17 wine aficionados held courses and lectures concerning wine, Mexican wine and that of many different countries.

This year there were 14 hotels and restaurants that participated in the event and every one of them stated that the attendance was fantastic, encouraging them to put their names on the list for a 2nd Wine Fest.

“An exciting option for tourists that not only want sunshine and sand , the Fest offers cultural interest for people vacationing here on those days and for the citizens of Vallarta”, stated the organizer Nacho Cadena.

For the 2nd wine festival, a guest country will be adding their help to bring more culture to the interesting and diverse schedule. Not only about wine, the outside influence of another country will add flavor to complementary entertainment, Vallarta’s Department of culture will oversee a few short films having to do with the main theme.

With wine being a year round interest for many, the committee is putting together a series of events to be held at different times in the year, the first of which was a wine seminar scheduled August 29th through 31st. 3 hours per day of curricular value, featured wine testing and theory available to anyone who holds an interest in learning more about wine.
