The Montilla-Moriles Wine Tasting Festival returns to Córdoba for its 40th edition, offering a revamped experience with free access and a focus on promoting the Protected Designation of Origin, from April 23rd to 26th.

The Montilla-Moriles Wine Tasting Festival is gearing up for its 40th edition in Córdoba, unofficially kicking off the Córdoba May festivities. This year, the event introduces significant changes, maintaining its location on Avenida del Alcázar and eliminating night hours, a measure implemented in 2025 to avoid overcrowding. The main goal is to boost the Protected Designation of Origin (DOP) and attract tourism, without losing the traditional festive atmosphere.
The celebration will take place from Thursday, April 23rd to Sunday, April 26th. During these four days, the facilities will open their doors at 12:00 PM and close at 8:00 PM. The decision to remove night hours aims to eradicate the large outdoor drinking gatherings that characterized the festival in previous editions, promoting a more controlled and family-friendly environment.
One of the main novelties of this edition is the elimination of ticket purchases. Both Córdoba residents and visitors will be able to access the venue for free. Wine consumption will be paid for individually at a price of two euros per glass, while food will be paid according to the prices set by the participating restaurants. This measure seeks to reduce the long queues that formed in previous years. The capacity will remain at approximately 3,500 people.
This year, the number of participating wineries has been reduced to ten, compared to fourteen in the previous edition. These wineries will offer their best wines, accompanied by gastronomy from five Cordoban restaurants. The wine offering is especially aimed at a young audience, as approximately 50% of attendees are under 30 years old.
The 40th edition of the Montilla-Moriles Wine Tasting Festival will be dedicated to Adamuz. This gesture is made following the tragic train accident that occurred on January 18th. Additionally, the event seeks to promote the region's wine internationally, at a time when the sector faces challenges such as adverse weather conditions and the appearance of mildew infections, which last year reduced almost 50% of the DOP harvests.
