The Economic and Commercial Office of the Embassy of Spain in Vilnius (in charge of the markets of Lithuania and Latvia) in cooperation with ICEX Spain Exports and Investments is organizing a tasting of Spanish wines and gourmet food products, with the aim of promoting of those already present in Lithuanian market and presenting new ones that may be of interest of Lithuanian consumers.
With this tasting we do not only want to offer specific options that could be successful in the Lithuanian market, but also, we want to show the attendees examples of the huge variety of products, with different flavours and nuances, that Spain's agri-food sector can offer.
The tasting will take place on the 18th of October and will be guided by two professionals: Juraté Sprindziunaité, a gastronomic journalist and a professional sommelier, and Balys Andrejevas, the chef of the Embassy of Spain in Vilnius.
Jūratė Sprindžiūnaitė is a gastronomic journalist and a professional sommelier, founder of the company “Vynas ir draugai” that organizes professional wine tastings. She is a graduate of the Institute of Journalism of Vilnius University, the Sommelier School (Vilnius) and the FWS Champagne Master-Level program. She has collaborated as a wine journalist with “Lietuvos rytas”, “Žmonės”, “Verslo žinios”, Geras skonis”, etc. She is also a member of board of Lithuanian Sommelier Association.
Balys Andrejevas is a graduate of Le Cordon Blue school, and he has spent more than 14 years perfecting culinary arts at different hotels and restaurants in Spain, France, Luxembourg or Mexico. He has spent more than 20 years living in Spain, so he knows very well the tastes and culinary traditions of Spain. He actually works as a chef at the Embassy of Spain.

This year we will be presenting 8 food products (curred meat products, extra virgin olive oil, fish preserves) and 8 wines that include red, white and sparkling wines from a wide variety of regions (Rioja DO, Ribera del Duero, Priorat, Valencia, Cava, Cariñena).
