Join Vinodiversity's Taste and Talk Sessions. Many wine grape varieties have a particular day on which they are celebrated. Some are honoured in just one country, others draw international recognition. These special days give producers, marketers and winelovers a chance to share the love about their favourite variety.

They also give writers and bloggers a chance to relook at the variety and share with their readers. Typically there are both online and offline events. Often there are physical events in many locations throughout the world, so you have no excuses for not joining in.

I compiled a list of these days for my own organisational purposes. Then I thought it might be good to create the resource collaboratively and share the result. You can help by adding a comment about any varietal day that you know about in the comment box below. Please add a link to the appropriate website if you can. From time to time I'll come back and re-organise this page. The list is in two sections, the first listed alphabetically by variety.

Followed a listing by month to let you see what is coming up. The events tend to be arranged on a similar date each year.

Sangria Sangria day is celebrated on 20 December each day. A summer drink, suitable for long December days in the Southern Hemisphere.
