This edition of ENOMAQ-OLEOMAQ and EBEER featured an expanded exhibition of equipment for wineries, olive oil mills, and the brewing industry, strengthening its position in these key sectors. A commitment to quality was the guiding principle of this edition, a criterion also maintained in the agricultural section of the event with TECNOVID and OLEOTEC, which contributed a high level of specialization and cutting-edge technology.

Grenaches du Monde 2025 will be held in Cariñena on May 5 and 6.

The prestigious international competition Grenaches du Monde returns to Aragon in 2025, with Cariñena as the host city. This annual competition, which recognizes excellence in wines made with Grenache grapes, will bring together producers from around the world and a professional jury of 60 to 80 experts who will evaluate nearly 1,000 samples.

The event coincides with Cariñena's designation as a European City of Wine and Zaragoza's designation as the World Capital of Garnacha, solidifying the region's position as the epicenter of this grape variety.

The agreement was signed this morning at ENOMAQ, marking the start of preparations for an event that will strengthen the international profile of Garnacha and its producing regions.

Participation continues to grow year after year, with new wineries joining those that participate in each edition.
