Foods and Wines from Spain

Foods and Wines from Spain, an institutional showcase for Spanish gastronomy

Foods and Wines from Spain is a content portal managed by ICEX that brings together up-to-date information on Spanish wines and food products. Its approach combines outreach and support for foreign trade: in addition to articles and news, it publishes data on trade and production regulations, culinary routes, exporting companies and tasting notes.

Wine and food content

The site organizes its materials into two main thematic areas. The wine section includes articles and news, information on producing regions, Spanish grape varieties, a wine glossary and maps of designations of origin and protected geographical indications. The food section offers articles and news, product profiles, a food glossary and maps of DOs and PGIs. Both areas are complemented by recipes and cooking techniques.

Restaurants, shops and routes

The portal includes a directory of restaurants and shops, with specific sections for restaurants in Spain and Colmados, as well as a map of establishments. It also offers travel-related content, such as culinary routes and the Travel in a bite section, aimed at discovering Spanish gastronomy through its territories.

Foreign trade and exporting companies

A significant part of the site is aimed at professionals: it includes a map of exporters, information on trade commissions, statistics and a who is who directory. The Trade section gathers these resources, along with the calendar of upcoming events. The portal is presented under the Spain Food Nation brand and is supported by the European Regional Development Fund.

Training and certifications

The site maintains the FWS Academy, with training content, and offers both Wines from Spain and Spain's Pantry certificates. These materials are aimed at professionals and prescribers who need to certify or expand their knowledge of Spanish products.

Featured products and outreach

Among the outreach content is the Product of the week section, which in the material analyzed highlighted Sóller oranges. The text describes the Canoneta variety as the most characteristic of the area, with high sugar content and high juice yield, and notes that the Sóller valley has more than seven centuries of citrus-growing tradition, with terrace cultivation adapted to its geoclimatic conditions. The portal also publishes sector news, such as the ten golds won by Spain at the World Beer Awards 2026, the expected 6% growth in Spanish stone fruit production or the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Contino vintage with 'Chorus'.

Languages and international reach

The content is published in English and is organized around the international projection of Spanish gastronomy, with sections such as FWS Worldwide and SpainGourmetour (1985-2012). The site includes notices about the use of its own and third-party cookies for internal and analytical purposes.
