Grenaches du Monde
Created in 2013 by the Conseil Interprofessionnel des Vins du Roussillon (CIVR) in Perpignan, the Grenaches du Monde competition later became itinerant, with a first off‑site edition held in Aragón (Campo de Borja) in 2016, followed by Sardinia in 2017 and Catalonia (Terra Alta) in 2018. After returning to Perpignan in 2019, the competition hit the road again the following year, heading to Montpellier in partnership with the Vins de Pays d’Oc, the world’s leading producer of Grenache rosé wines.
In 2021, Grenaches du Monde introduced an innovative format with four tastings held simultaneously in four Grenache capitals: Cebreros in Spain, Châteauneuf‑du‑Pape and Perpignan in France, and Ascoli Piceno in Italy. After a stop in Navarre in 2022, the competition took on the challenge in 2023 of hosting its first edition outside the European continent, in New York.
In 2024, Paris, the host city of the Olympic Games, welcomed the major Grenache tournament, before a highly symbolic return in 2025 to Aragón, in Cariñena, designated European City of Wine. In 2026, after travelling the world, Grenaches du Monde returns to its roots with a new edition marked by a strong Mediterranean identity, where the adventure first began.
