The European Wine Blogger Conference 2008 is almost around the corner. In less than 2 months (August 29th-31st) we’ll be joining other wine lovers in La Rioja for the first event of this kind.

The agenda is full of interesting stuff.

Day 1
We’ll start by doing a special wine tasting. Each participant was asked to bring wines [that] could be great examples of the blogger’s own country’s wines, or could be examples of wines that are very popular in that country. It sure looks like we’ll discovering lots of new stuff. We’ll add them all to adegga.

Day 2
Second day is discussion day. We’ll be gathering at the Dinastia Vivanco Museum to discuss such interesting topics as ratings, wine blog writing and standards and monetisation. On this day we’ll also be able to eat some tapas and taste local wines.

This day will end will a great keynote tasting of Portuguese and Spanish wines led by uber-iberian-bloggers Ryan and Gabriella from Catavino.

Day 3
On the third day we’ll be visiting several Rioja Bodegas. Looking at some Flickr pictures one can only wonder how amazing that will be!

Join us?
We’re looking forward for the conference. We’ll be driving there since it’s only 800 km. Is anyone else going from Portugal?
