Celebrating that Catalonia has been designated the World Region of Gastronomy for 2025, Bob Davidson, Professor at the University of Toronto and a specialist in Food Studies, will deliver a talk on the drinking tradition in Catalonia. From the porró to molecular mixology, he will consider how Catalan drink has evolved along a trajectory that takes us from aiguardent and the wines of the Priorat, through the complexities of cava and the urbanity of vermouth, to ratafia and the new bars rewriting Barcelona’s cocktail history. After the talk, there will be a wine reception, courtesy of Casa Torres, with two wines available to try.

Event organised by Fitzwilliam College, MMLL and Institut Ramon Llull.
