The Raïm Wine Fest will hold its third edition this Saturday at Mar y Ses Voltes Park, with 58 wineries from Mallorca, aiming to celebrate the island’s wine, the people who produce it, and the region that gives it its identity.
The Palma City Council, which supports the festival organized by Vi de la Terra Mallorca, has announced that the event will combine wine, food, and music from noon until 1 a.m.
Gastronomy will be another of the festival’s highlights, bringing together restaurants, bakeries, food trucks, and food stalls offering culinary delights with a particular focus on local products. This year, the Ses Voltes area is being added to expand the range of activities and host five food and wine workshops, one of the event’s most popular attractions.
The one-hour sessions will pair Vi de la Terra Mallorca wines, made from local grape varieties, with creations from chefs, bakers, and catering professionals. The program will begin at 12:00 PM and run until 7:00 PM. Sommeliers such as Josep Juhé, Josep Avellà, Gabi Lucas, Toni Fernández, and Jaume Fàbregues will participate, pairing the wines with the various culinary offerings. Starting at 7:30 PM, the gastronomic event will continue with a cocktail session.
Music will play a prominent role throughout the festival, with something for everyone. This year there will be two stages: the main stage, located in front of the Seu de Mallorca, and a second venue at Ses Voltes. The festival, which is free, has been designated a Municipal Activity of Public Interest by the City Council, in recognition of its scope and its contribution to the promotion of Mallorcan wines.
The mayor, Jaime Martínez, has stated that the event “has established itself as one of the highlights of Palma’s gastronomic calendar,” with the goal of showcasing the quality and diversity of the wines from the municipality and the rest of Mallorca.
He also noted that this third edition coincides with Palma’s status as the gastronomic capital of the Mediterranean islands, a recognition that “allows us to showcase the richness of local products and acknowledge the contribution of all sectors that are part of the city’s gastronomic identity.” For all these reasons, he encouraged the public to participate in this year’s festival and enjoy an event that combines wine, gastronomy, and the local region.
For his part, the president of Vi de la Terra Mallorca, Mateu Morro, highlighted the role of the Raïm Wine Fest as an established event on the island’s wine calendar and as a showcase to give visibility to the sector. As he emphasized, the event is “an opportunity for winemakers to explain their work firsthand, share their knowledge, and showcase the wines produced from the island’s vineyards.”
