On December 8 and 9, we organize our Annual Christmas Market with the collaboration of artisan producers and a wide program of tastings, activities and live music. The event will take place from 11 am to 7 pm and will be held at the winery and at the Wine Tourism Center of BUIL & GINÉ. This year the Christmas Market will also host the closing of the 2023 season for the KM 11.5 FEST, the Music and Wine Series that we launched last June with an amazing response from the public.
Artisan market
The winery and Wine Tourism Center of BUIL & GINÉ will transform into a Christmas Market for two days where wine shares the spotlight with gastronomic products from artisan producers with same values and a common philosophy. In addition to the artisan stands, on the outdoor terrace of the wine tourism center there will be live music both days with wine by the glass service and uninterrupted food service from the Kukurutxo Foodtruck. At the same time, and as always, the Amics Restaurant, located at the top of the cellar, will offer lunch service with its seasonal gastronomic menus. Local gourmet cuisine with panoramic views of the Serra del Montsant.
PROGRAM: Wine tastings and activities
In addition to the market, activities will be organized such as live music and wine tastings. This year, and as a novelty, we offer tastings in two different areas: the outdoor terrace of the wine tourism center (wine bar) and inside the winery’s facilities. Tastings open to everyone, free of charge and without the need for a reservation, will be held outdoor. And two targeted tastings have been scheduled in the tasting room at a special price of 20 euros.
