Since 1993, one of the mayor events at Utiel-Requena is held two months after the grapes have been harvested, when the first harvest wines, or ‘Early Harvests’ are introduced. Young whites, reds and rosés, all with their special character and a range of fresh and fruity flavours, are the stars of a local party that attracts the media, winemakers, restaurateurs and the general public. Since the 9th edition of the “Utiel Requena Vintages” festival, wineries not only showcase their harvest wines, they also introduce their most relevant contributions from recent vintages.

Moving into new terrain, the appellation is also keen to promote wine tourism through the Wine Route Association established under DO Utiel-Requena, which organises one-day or weekend outings with a range of quality activities scheduled for visitors who wish to add a touch of wine culture to their retreat into a landscape where the vineyards grow alongside the Mediterranean woodlands and the protected natural heritage of Hoces del Cabriel is only a stone’s throw away.

In February 2007, the Regulating Council reopened its Wine Museum under the slogan ‘Live Wine Day by Day’. The museum is located at the Bodega Redonda winery in Utiel (Valencia), where the appellation also has its head offices.
