Fira del Vi de Falset (Priorat Wine Fair) is one of the wine festivals that anchors the Catalonia calendar, drawing both local visitors and international wine travellers each year. It is held at Falset in Priorat, in the heart of one of Spain's most distinctive wine areas. It is an annual event with an established local audience and a consistent place in the regional calendar.
Wine tastings, olive oil tastings, music and bodega visits. Features wines from DOQ Priorat and DO Montsant. Wine festivals across Europe typically combine producer tastings with food pairings, live music, and a strong sense of place. Visitors can expect access to wines from a range of producers in the appellation, alongside food stalls offering regional specialities, masterclasses or vineyard walks for those who want to learn more, and an opportunity to buy directly from producers at cellar prices. Many events run across multiple days or weekends, allowing visitors to sample different parts of the programme according to interest, and combine well with the area's wider tourism offer. The event is organised by DO Montsant / DOQ Priorat / Falset, which sets the tone and direction of the programme each year.
Catalonia is the wine region surrounding Barcelona in the northeast of Spain, encompassing some of the country's most distinctive appellations. Penedes is the heart of Cava production (around 95% of all Spanish Cava is made here), while Priorat is the second of Spain's two DOCa regions, producing concentrated reds from old-vine Garnacha and Cariñena on slate soils. Other Catalan zones include Conca de Barbera, Costers del Segre, Emporda and Montsant. The region has been at the forefront of Spanish wine modernisation since the 1960s under producers like Torres and Raventos i Blanc.
The 2026 edition is scheduled for TBC May 2026. Cost details are best confirmed directly with the organiser ahead of travel. Full programme, ticketing and updated information are published on the official site at turismepriorat.org.
