GastroWine 2026 Fair Arrives at La Térmica in Málaga

Autumn is one of the most rewarding times of the year to explore the rich culinary culture of southern Spain. For travellers basing themselves in Nerja and along the Axarquía coast, a dedicated celebration of regional viticulture and food is taking place right in the provincial capital. GastroWine 2026 takes over the cultural centre La Térmica in Málaga city from 30 October to 1 November 2026.

This three-day festival highlights the remarkable depth of Málaga's winemaking heritage and local gastronomy. Visitors can discover indigenous grape varieties, sample regional vintages, and experience how local producers are combining age-old traditions with modern cellar methods.

Regional Flavours Under One Roof

The festival brings together vintners and artisan producers from across the province of Málaga. Throughout the weekend from 30 October to 1 November 2026, attendees will find a curated series of tastings, guided pairings, and interactive culinary showcases.

Wine enthusiasts have the opportunity to taste wines that rarely travel far beyond Andalusia, from crisp coastal whites to complex mountain reds and the province’s famous sweet and fortified offerings. Alongside the glasses poured, local culinary presentations provide insight into pairing local produce with regional wines, giving visitors a genuine taste of southern Spanish food culture.

A Perfect Day Trip from Nerja

Held at Centro Cultural La Térmica—an energetic cultural complex set close to Málaga's western seafront—GastroWine makes an easy and enjoyable excursion for holidaymakers staying along the eastern Costa del Sol.

Reaching the venue from Nerja is straightforward:

• By Car: Drive west along the A-7 autovía towards Málaga city. The journey typically takes around 45 to 55 minutes, with parking options available around the La Térmica and Huelin districts.
