La nueva edición de Enoforum en España se celebrará de forma presencial

Enoforum returns to Zaragoza in person and recovers what it does best: bringing together researchers, technicians and winemakers to put the latest innovations in the wine sector on the table.

Back in person

The event takes place at the Congress Centre of the Zaragoza Trade Fair and revives the face-to-face gathering after a run of remote editions. For a technical congress like this, returning to an in-person format is no small detail: much of the value lies in the corridor conversations, in seeing the trials first-hand and in the direct exchange between those who research and those who make the wine.

What Enoforum is

Enoforum is a technical-scientific congress focused on winemaking innovation. Its journey began decades ago in Italy and reached Spain with the aim of becoming a meeting point for the sector. The approach is clear: to bring applied research closer to the wineries and make it easier for laboratory advances to end up being genuinely useful in the vineyard and the cellar.

Who takes part

The event brings together the different players who drive the sector forward, from both the public and private spheres:

• Research centres and universities.
• Supplier companies with R&D activity.
• Technicians, oenologists and production managers.
• Wine producers interested in applying new developments.

That mix of profiles is precisely what gives the congress its meaning: innovation gains value when it jumps from paper to practice, and for that, researchers and wineries need to speak the same language.

Why it matters to wineries

Behind every improvement in the glass there is usually technical work that is rarely seen: managing the vineyard in the face of climate change, controlling fermentation, using water more efficiently or tools for making decisions at harvest. A forum like this pools those advances and helps a mid-sized winery adopt solutions that were once reserved for the big players. Wine science, in the end, ends up showing in the glass.

Innovation and wine tourism go hand in hand

The visitor who arrives at a winery is not always aware of the technological component behind a good wine. Increasingly, visits include explanations of how the vineyard is cared for or how the winemaking is controlled, and that is where the knowledge circulating at events like Enoforum fits in. Understanding that work enriches the experience and helps to appreciate what is in the glass.

If the technical world of wine appeals to you, the best way to get closer is to see it live. Many wineries open their doors and explain how they work during the visit: you can discover the ones you can visit and choose the one that best matches your curiosity.
