The eighth edition of the festival organizes a meeting with Wine Garden in two reference wineries in the Valley of La Orotava, and gives impetus to the local product in a well-kept space within the concert venue

The eighth edition of Phe Festival, which will be held on August 18 and 19 in Puerto de la Cruz, endorses its commitment to local products and sustainability through a series of actions linked to the enoculture. A holiday experience that also includes the culture of wine at the Phe Festival with the name of Winegarden. It is a leisure proposal that is part of the varied offer that this year presents the Phexperiences, and that complete the parallel activities of this edition. 

Wine Garden It is a meeting point for wine culture and innovation that is structured between visits with limited places to different reference wineries in the Valley of La Orotava, with wine tasting and gastronomic tasting, on Wednesday 16 and Thursday 17 August; and the creation of its own space in the festival grounds, on Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th, where you can discover and taste a selection of wines from four wineries.

These conferences around wine begin on Wednesday August 16 with the first of the organized visits to the wineries in the area, which will have as its first destination the winery The Hague. It is a small winery that makes three types of white wines -fruity, dry and barrel-, with a limited production from native Canary Islands varieties and vines that are over 200 years old. 

On Thursday, August 17, the second of the visits of Wine Garden leads to the Arautava winery. A winery that is due to respect and tradition with the manual work of the vineyards and the exclusive commitment to native varieties. Cultivated on volcanic soil that gives a “unique minerality” to these Tenerife wines, which are made with as little intervention as possible and which enhances the varietal personality of the Listán Negro, Listán Blanco, Albillo Criollo and Malvasía Aromatica grapes.

Both visits have been organized for small groups, with registration through the festival website. 

These meetings in wineries that make possible the first toasts prior to the launch of the eighth edition of Phe 2023, will have their particular soundtrack with the participation of djs and regular selectors of the Phe Festival.

The activities around the wines of the Valley of La Orotava have their extension in the two days of the festival, August 18 and 19, with a space in the Phe 2023 venue reserved for four wineries of this denomination of origin: to the wineries The Hague and Arautava, protagonists in the visits and tasting in the previous days, two others are added: the winery Lomar, limited production; and Luck of the Marquis, one of the four Spanish wineries -together with Tempos Vega Sicilia, Can Sumoi and Viñedos Sierra Cantabria- that is among the 100 best in the world according to the latest 2022 ranking of the American magazine Wine & Spirits. A recognition that the Tenerife winery repeats after the distinctions received by this benchmark publication in the sector in 2019 and 2021.
