El Encuentro at Casa Pepa: an afternoon of taste and inspiration

09/30/2025

Some encounters are carefully planned, others happen naturally. El Encuentro – literally The Meeting – promises to be a bit of both. On Friday, October 3rd, Casa Pepa in Ondara opens its doors for an afternoon dedicated to tasting, discovering and connecting. From 1:00 to 5:00 pm, the historic finca will transform into a lively space where gastronomy, art and lifestyle come together.

A place with history

Casa Pepa is not just any venue. What once started as a modest village restaurant has grown into an icon of Mediterranean cuisine, with a reputation reaching far beyond the Costa Blanca. Today Casa Pepa is part of Grupo BonAmb, yet the soul of the house – its warm hospitality and love for local products – remains very much alive.

Tasting and discovering

During El Encuentro, five wineries will present their wines, ready to be explored one glass at a time. The Casa Pepa team will prepare delicious bites, while local producers showcase vegan cheeses, nuts and honey. It’s the perfect chance to discover new flavors, meet the makers and perhaps take home a new favorite.

Art and lifestyle

Beyond food and wine, El Encuentro also celebrates creativity. Visitors will be able to view paintings and jewelry – and, more importantly, hear the stories of the people behind them. Because at the heart of this afternoon lies more than tasting: it’s about meeting, listening and sharing.

A Mediterranean Friday afternoon

For those looking to escape the week’s hustle, this is a different way to spend a Friday. Not a crowded festival, but an intimate, friendly atmosphere with time for a chat, a toast and a laugh with friends and acquaintances. And best of all: admission is free.

A tradition in the making

The organizers don’t see El Encuentro as a one-off, but as the start of a new tradition. Year after year, bringing together businesses, artists and visitors in a Mediterranean setting: an encounter that feels as natural as a good conversation on a terrace in the evening sun.
