For the third consecutive year, Madrid Fusión The Wine Edition Wines from Spain will be held within Madrid Fusión Alimentos de España 2023, now in its 21st year, and considered the most important gastronomic congress in the world.

With input and insights from wine professionals taking part in each session, the programme portrays the rich landscape of wine that is found in Spain. 

The issues covered will be highly diverse, ranging from pairing wine with pizza to learning about wines according to the terroir, including topics of interest to anyone within the varied audience.

Well-known brands will participate alongside new and different producers.
