June 11 Declared National Peruvian Wine Day

The date was established to highlight the value of the industry and strengthen the production chain that supports farming families and wineries across the country.

We have a new day to celebrate! June 11 has officially been declared National Peruvian Wine Day, an initiative that honors the dedication of thousands of producers and the exceptional quality of Peru's grapes. It is more than just another date on the calendar—it is a tribute to a tradition that began centuries ago.

Our winemaking heritage is remarkable, and this new celebration reminds us that wine is part of who we are. From the valleys of Ica to the highlands of Arequipa, Moquegua and Tacna, every bottle tells the story of fertile land that yields distinctive flavors and a rich tradition.

What makes Peruvian wine truly special is its character. Thanks to our unique climate and geography, our wines are gaining international recognition at prestigious wine competitions around the world. Whether it is a full-bodied red, a crisp white, or a refreshing rosé perfectly suited to our climate, Peruvian wine is no longer a "best-kept secret"—it has become the centerpiece of the table.

But this is about more than bottles and labels; it is about people. Behind every glass are thousands of families, small wineries and skilled hands working from sunrise to sunset to bring the very best of the land to your table. Celebrating this day also means supporting our economy and recognizing the entrepreneurial spirit that defines Peruvians.

Peruvian wine is also the perfect companion to the country's renowned cuisine. A lomo saltado paired with a glass of Peruvian wine is simply irresistible. Our gastronomy is ranked among the world's finest, and now our wine is ready to stand alongside it.

You do not need to be an expert sommelier to enjoy wine—just a sense of curiosity and a desire to discover the many expressions of our land. Every time you order a bottle of Peruvian wine at a restaurant or purchase one from a winery, you are saying, "I believe in what Peru produces."

This June 11—and any day you choose—raise your glass and celebrate with pride. Peruvian wine is culture, identity and the joy of sharing.
