Throughout the City of Puerto Vallarta from Sunday, February 22 to Saturday, February 28, the 3rd annual Puerto Vallarta Wine Festival will infuse wine and culture to tourist and local, alike.
The Puerto Vallarta Wine Festival is not only a tourist attraction, but above all, a reward for the visitor’s loyalty. That is why it is organized during high season when there are lots of tourists on place, so they can find in Vallarta not only Sun and Beach but also superior quality events.
The Vallarta Wine Fest is a party for everyone; everybody is part of it and everybody is an organizer. It’s a party of the village, spreading the Arts & Wine culture to all of the social classes of the city.
Based in the success of 2007, for 2008 the chosen slogan is: LA CULTURA ESTÁ DE FIESTA. Along with the Wine-related events, the training and qualification centers for professional and amateurs, a true storm of cultural events is organized: a poetry contest, a photography contest, a plastic arts exhibition of the Centro 10 group, a youth wine-theme painting exhibition, concerts, country fairs…. Party. It is Party time for Culture.
