El Camino de Santiago » July's Wine Trail

This wine trail is a collaborative event series highlighting Vinovi & Co.'s visionary winemakers located along El Camino de Santiago to celebrate St James, the Patron Saint of Spain. Throughout July, we will be featuring these visionary northern producers. Events include public wine tastings, wine dinners, wine features, and more! Join us at restaurants and retail spaces across Michigan and beyond.  

El Camino de Santiago is a pilgrimage route across northern Spain, ending on the Atlantic coast at the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia.  Pilgrims (peregrinos) originally started coming to this location from all across Europe in the 11th century to witness the reported tomb of the apostle Saint James, known as “Santiago” by Spanish Catholics. The alleged remains of Saint James were buried in this location, and centuries later, a monastery, and ultimately a cathedral, were built on the declared burial site of the apostle James. Fast-forwarding to the 21st century, hundreds of thousands of people walk El Camino each year.

Vinovi & Co. represents twelve trailblazing producers along this Camino, crossing several premiere winemaking regions: Artuke, Álvaro Loza, César Príncipe, Belondrade, Uva de Vida, Pardevalles, Almaroja, Sílice, Lagar de Sabariz, Coto de Gomariz, Xulia Bande, and Fento.
