An enjoyable evening at the recent El Borne Wine Tastng Fair - Nov 2011. 

        

The festival takes place in Calle Agullers in El Borne and is a chance for the local wine merchants to present their selections of wines for the general public to try. They set up stalls and display their  vinos tintos, rosados and blancos for everyone to taste. There is only one cost and that is to buy the commemorative wine glass you need to taste the wine - 5€.

Some of the local bars and restaurants provide free tapas to help soak up the tastings! It is a popular local festival and finishes when all bottles have been drunk!!
