“We’ve been here every year since the first Vimart”, said Antoni Passarell of the Old Cercavins. “The winery is from Verdú, but we are from Martorell and we always like to find friends and acquaintances who come to taste our wines.” “Above all, young, white and fresh wines, to drink on a day like today.”

The Glutton; Pastry Grade; Dtapping; Hotel Ciutat de Martorell; Sweet Emy; Restaurant Les Vinyes, Restaurant Aqqua and Restaurant Ca l’Esteve have been in charge of serving the food and desserts.
Jordi Bartés of Restaurant Aqqua has offered “part of our cuisine, such as fideuà, black rice, faixeta with half meat, hot dog, hamburgers, pickled caçó or cannelloni with mushrooms, to complete the Vimart”. They always think of “one-bite or easy-to-eat dishes to be able to stand up and have a drink in hand”.
