2012 Puerto Vallarta Wine Festival

2012 Puerto Vallarta Wine FestivalThe Vallarta Wine Festival will be held for the sixth time in Puerto Vallarta, this time coinciding with the dates of the Tourism Expo.

Instead of taking place in the last week of February, the organizing committee decided to move the event to March to support the Tourism Expo with an event featuring haute cuisine, wine, culture and education.

The Wine Fest has distinguished itself as an excellent promotion for Puerto Vallarta which is held in high season, and all the cultural events included in the Festival are free of charge.

20 restaurants of the highest quality in Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit will offer for one week unique menus, wine lists and special tastings at promotional prices.

As in previous years, there will be a series of lectures for young students of tourism and gastronomy, as well as free training sessions for all staff who work in hotels or restaurants in Nuevo Vallarta or Puerto Vallarta.

One of the main events will be the Expovino, where professionals and the general public can enjoy a wine tasting from all of the vineyards participating in the Wine Fest, as well as manufacturers of fine cheeses, meats and artisan breads.

Different parts of the city will present cultural events: music, singing, theater and, of course, the traditional poetry contest with the theme of wine, supported by the Ministry of Culture in the State of Jalisco.

Eagerly awaited by the entire population will be the Sunday party at Plaza Lazaro Cardenas in the Romantic Zone, where participating restaurants offer food and wine tastings at affordable prices with folklore festival and a band for dancing.

Over the years this event has developed to become an extremely successful, cultural attraction which is why it will be a great contribution to all visitors who come to participate in the Tourism Expo 2012, giving them the opportunity to sample the best in gastronomy and viticulture.

A fundamental part of the event is the attendance of about 20 sommeliers from different regions that will host training and service sessions in participating restaurants.

The Wine Fest has become one of the most significant events in Banderas Bay. The celebration will be from 22 to 29 March 2012 and all events are free and open to the public.

2012 Becas Ball

This social event of the season is going to be better than ever with a Spanish theme and the setting on the shores of the beautiful Bahia de Banderas at the Club Regina in the Marina. We are suggesting a dress code of red, black or white, if possible, which will make a gorgeous array of color to add to this beautiful site.

2012 Puerto Vallarta Becas Ball

Los Bambinos will play and sing for the cocktail hour which begins at 6:30. This will be followed by a fabulous sit down dinner with wine and entertainment by Odisea from Ciudad Guzman. Then this versatile band will play for your dancing pleasure with many surprises during the evening.There will be door prizes, gift bags being prepared by Marcelo Mica Pilates and Timothy Real Estate Group and a Silent Auction with art from Vallarta’s best including Ada Colorina and Marta Gilbert, jewelry from Cassandra Shaw and June Rosen, dinner from Vallarta’s 5 star restaurants and much, much more.

Tickets are only $100 US or $1200 pesos and must be purchased in advance. Tables of 10 can be reserved when you have a least 8 paid tickets. You can get your tickets from any member of Becas. You can also reserve tickets at 223-1371 or 044-322-182-0215 or at phvicars@gmail.com

This is Becas Vallarta’s major fund raiser which we hope will ensure that we can keep our almost 400 of Vallarta’s brightest and best young people in school pursuing their educational dreams. That is where you and we come in. Come, eat, drink and make merry while actually changing the entire life of a young person who may one day be the Mayor of Puerto Vallarta or perhaps the President of Mexico!
