The event, scheduled for Saturday, August 2, 2025, at 6:30 PM local time, will take place via Zoom and aims to highlight the growing visibility of wines from different regions of the country, which have started to gain international attention.
During the tasting, González Benítez will guide participants on a sensory journey through wines from well-known areas like Mérida and Trujillo, as well as emerging production zones like Carora and the Valles de Aragua. Participants will have the opportunity to discover the unique characteristics of each wine, the production techniques applied, and recommended food pairings for each variety.
“Our country has exceptional conditions for producing unique wines. This tasting is not just a sampling; it’s an opportunity to understand what we are doing well and where we can advance as a producing nation,” says the sommelier.
The event is aimed at enthusiasts and professionals in the wine sector and seeks to highlight the efforts of producers working towards a sustainable model in a tropical mountain climate. The tasting will cover topics such as altitudes above 1,200 meters, the grape varieties best adapted to the environment, and the challenges faced by winemakers in Venezuela.
Participants will receive a digital guide with technical sheets and a selection of wines they can purchase from specialty stores or local distributors. Additionally, pairing tips will be provided. At the end of the session, a digital participation certificate will be awarded.
With an estimated duration of one hour and fifteen minutes and conducted in Spanish, the event does not require prior wine experience. Registration will open on Monday, July 21, through the form on the official website of Tomás Elías González Benítez, making this tasting a unique opportunity to appreciate the wine richness of Venezuela’s highlands.
