Month: December 2024

The Familia Torres Foundation has made a financial donation of €10,000 to the Valencian Federation of Hotel and Restaurant Businesses (FEHV) to help hoteliers affected by the DANA on October 29.

Representatives of the Penedès family winery met last Tuesday, December 17, in Valencia, with the general secretary of the FEHV, Rafael Ferrando, and the financial director Carmen Lozano, to formalize the donation with the intention of serving to help rebuild the affected premises and reactivate the sector in general.

The FEHV, which has more than 1,500 associates in the province of Valencia, is channeling the aid received due to the DANA to allocate it exclusively to hoteliers in the affected areas regardless of whether they are members or not.

The Torres Family Foundation has also collaborated with the Association of Sommeliers and Oenologists of Valencia (ASEV) in a charity tasting and dinner held at the beginning of December in aid of the Mira’m Foundation, an association for autistic children in the Valencian Community, doubling the amount raised during the dinner. In 2025, it plans to carry out other actions to support the Valencian community.

Last Monday a charity tasting and dinner took place in Valencia organised by the Association of Sommeliers and Oenophiles of Valencia (ASEV) led by Mireia Torres.

For the tasting we had a full house, 50 people who enjoyed Vardon Kennett, Pazo Torre Penelas, Jean Leon Vinya Gigi, Marimar Mas Cavalls, Salmos and Jean Leon Le Heavre Magnum from 1998. Among the attendees were well-known sommeliers such as Paco (Bga Biosca and president of ASEV), Abi (Sommelier of Hotel Westin), Olena (Sommelier of Rest Perfumería/Palacio Balier, MYR Hotels Group) and Marilu (Sommelier Trainer), among others.

After the tasting, a charity dinner was held, the funds raised from which went to the Mira’m Foundation (Valencian Community Association of autistic children), focusing on supporting those affected by DANA. During the event, our wines and spirits were offered.

It is important to highlight that the Familia Torres Foundation has doubled the amount raised, which will undoubtedly be extremely beneficial for this group.

A night of many feelings on the surface, where the public needed to take distance from the recent events that had occurred.

Last Friday, November 22, the Familia Torres Foundation, in an exceptional collaboration with the Castellers de Vilafranca, held a casteller workshop followed by a charity wine tasting. This event was organized in support of the Autisme amb Futur entity.

The participants were amazed by the history and great tradition that the Castellers de Vilafranca promote worldwide. Led by members of this emblematic casteller group, the participants discovered the techniques and fundamental values that sustain this Catalan cultural practice, and put into practice what they had learned by forming a group.

Finally, the attendees were able to enjoy a tasting led by one of our winemakers, who shared his knowledge and passion for wine.

With this event, 500 euros were raised, a sum that will be generously doubled by Banco Mediolanum. Consequently, a total of 1,000 euros will be donated to the Autisme amb Futur organisation, making a significant contribution to its work.

Autisme amb Futur works actively for the inclusion and improvement of the quality of life of people with autism.
