The Wine School played an important role in the schedule, continuing to promote the culture of responsible consumption and oenological education. Visitors were able to participate in topic-related sessions held by sommeliers and tasters with international experience. Local grapes varieties, characteristics of the wine regions with Protected Geographical Indication, wine and food pairing rules, as well as professional tasting techniques were presented.
