The
first ever “GastroCadiz”took place yesterday, an event celebrating the cuisine of the province
of Cadiz, and it took place at Bodegas Delgado Zuleta in Sanlucar. The
well-known TV chef Dani Martinez and Bodegas Delgado Zuleta are the main
promoters of the initiative which is also supported by the Consejo Regulador,
whose director, Cesar Saldaña, had the job of marrying fine Sherries to the
food prepared by various leading chefs.
Cadiz is blessed with great seafood, agriculture and meat,
not to mention great wines, putting the province firmly on the gastronomic map.
The chefs came up with some amazing dishes using only local produce, and Cesar Saldaña
married it all perfectly with Sherry. This sort of initiative is surely an
excellent way forward for both food and wine exports.
Another event for the
European Wine Tourism day is the V Jerez Wine Tourism Cycling Route. For 5 Euros,
one can sign up and start at Bodegas Lustau, where a tour is organised, and
cycle out to the countryside where a meal and some Sherry awaits the weary
pedallers at the Cortijo de Ducha, courtesy of the Consejo. Entries are open until
Sunday, and already at least 50 have been received. It is a great family day
out for little expense.
