On 30 May, Murallas y Vino, an evening event at the Peñafiel castle, will also be held.
On 31 May, Ribera del Duero will experience a special and pioneering day. A selection of exceptional wines from five emblematic wineries of this wine region and a gastronomic offer to match will be the main attractions of a first-class wine tourism event.
V Day is a unique wine tourism experience through five of the most emblematic wineries in Ribera del Duero: Tinto Pesquera, Protos, Alión, Pago de Carraovejas and Emilio Moro. This exclusive event is sponsored by the Junta de Castilla y León, Diputación de Valladolid, through Alimentos de Valladolid and the Milla de Oro del vino de Valladolid, Ayuntamiento de Peñafiel, Banco Sabadell, RIEDEL Euroselecció and 22 Artesian Water.
Exclusive offer
V Day offers an exclusive journey based on two fundamental elements for the wine tourism experience: wine and gastronomy. Thus, the participating wineries will offer two high-end references paired with tapas to match.
At Bodegas Tinto Pesquera the wines on offer will be Tinto Pesquera MXI 2021 and Tinto Pesquera Reserva 2020. To accompany these wines, a tapa made with spring truffle and a casserole of Dehesa la Granja chickpeas with ear will be served, which enhances the complex and elegant flavours of both wines, creating a perfect harmony on the palate.
The wines Protos'27 2022 and Protos Verdejo Reserva 2020 are the proposals of Bodegas Protos for V-Day. These wines will be accompanied by a tapa of lamb dumplings with churro ramen, which perfectly complements the flavours and textures of both wines.
At Alión, a skewer of lamb with vine shoots will be served, highlighting the richness and depth of the flavours, creating a unique gastronomic and wine experience topped off with the wines Alión 2021 and Mandolás 2022.
Another of the participating wineries is Pago de Carraovejas. Here the gastronomic offer is twofold. A delicious Pastela de cochinillo (suckling pig pie) and Sopas de ajo (garlic soup) will be served. This regional delicacy will be paired with the wines Pago de Carraovejas 2022 and Ossian 2022.
In the case of Bodegas Emilio Moro, the wines uncorked at El Día V will be La Revelía 2022 and Malleolus de Valderramiro 2021. And its gastronomic pairing will be a tapa of red wine cheeks with portobello mushroom and caramelised onion.

V Wineries, V Values
V-Day is structured around the five sponsoring wineries. Each winery holds an overall value that provides a narrative for the exceptional wines and quality gastronomy that will be offered.
The excellence of Tinto Pesquera. A winery that fosters a love of wine and a passion for sharing it. Thanks to its pioneering approach to the production of wines made from Tempranillo grapes, artisanal techniques are combined with technological innovations. Sustainability is the value at Protos. Maximum respect for the vineyard, its nature and care, as the only way to achieve quality winemaking for a more sustainable future, is one of the maxims of Protos in its daily work.
The landscape and diversity of Alión. It is the representation of the diversity of the Ribera del Duero that was born to bring a contemporary vision of the tradition of the area. In 1991 Alión, the second winery of the Álvarez family, was founded as a project independent from Vega Sicilia, with the aim of producing modern, differentiated wines within the Ribera del Duero designation of origin.
The authenticity of Pago de Carraovejas. The winery is distinguished by its commitment to quality and respect for origin, capturing in each bottle the essence of the surrounding landscape. Its vineyards, planted on steep slopes and limestone soils, benefit from a unique microclimate that favours optimal ripening of the grapes.
The tradition of Emilio Moro. The winery's philosophy focuses on balancing tradition with modernity. Advanced winemaking techniques are implemented respecting the methods passed down through generations, resulting in wines that reflect the distinctive character of Ribera del Duero. This commitment to quality allows Emilio Moro to remain a benchmark both nationally and internationally.
With these five values, two wines will be served by wineries and gastronomic tapas to reinforce these values in the attendees.
With this experience, the aim is to consolidate Ribera del Duero as a leading wine tourism destination, highlighting the importance of wine as an art that connects people and cultures.
Each winery will offer not only its best wines, but also an environment designed for fun and enjoyment, with cultural and artistic proposals that will surprise attendees.
To complete the experience at each winery, visitors will be able to enjoy two extraordinary wines paired with a high quality gastronomic proposal to round off a day that is sure to be to their liking.
