On September 15, Miami will dress up in style to host the very first edition of Salón Selección Peñín, the event that brings together Spain’s most acclaimed wineries for their excellence and quality. This one-of-a-kind gathering will take place at the Mr. C Hotel in Coconut Grove, with privileged views of the city skyline and a truly high-end format.
After 14 successful years in New York, the prestigious Guía Peñín has chosen South Florida as its new home. And that choice is no coincidence: Miami is living through an authentic wine revolution that shows no signs of slowing down. In recent years—just when some thought the market had reached its peak—we’ve witnessed remarkable growth in wine bars, specialty shops, and restaurants featuring outstanding wine lists. The arrival of new residents from cities like New York, New Jersey, and the West Coast has broadened local tastes and increased demand for world-class wines.
As host of the event’s official masterclass, I will have the honor of guiding attendees on a unique sensory journey with some of Spain’s most exceptional wines: labels scoring between 95 and 100 points in the prestigious Guía Peñín, carefully selected for their uniqueness, terroir, and ability to captivate the most discerning palates.
The event will bring together the very essence of Spain in a glass, featuring 30 wineries from 22 renowned wine regionssuch as Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Cava, Rueda, Bierzo, Navarra, and Priorat — alongside hidden gems like Ycoden-Daute-Isora, Pago de Otazu, Utiel-Requena, Costers del Segre, Cariñena, and Somontano. An unmissable opportunity to discover the diversity and excellence of Spanish wine — without leaving Miami.
The first Salón Selección Peñín Miami will not only serve as a showcase for elite producers but also as a bridge connecting Spanish wineries with importers, distributors, sommeliers, hotels, wine lovers, and the media across South Florida. The event promises to become an annual milestone that will firmly establish Miami as one of the key stages for wine in the United States.
This September 15, the city will not only witness a historic event—it will play the leading role in a new era, where Spanish wine and Miami raise a glass together, looking toward the future. For more information, visit guiapenin.wine.
