VinartFest es un evento artístico multidisciplinar en torno a la cultura del vino y su simbología que celebrará su quinta edición en mayo del 2025 en un entorno rural manchego como es Ventas de Alcolea, una pedanía casi despoblada entre las provincias de Albacete y Cuenca.
VinartFest quiere ser un punto de encuentro para expresiones artísticas diversas, reunidas en torno a un mismo hilo conductor: el poder creativo y evocador del vino y su cultura.
El Festival se articula en torno a un doble objetivo: poner en valor la riqueza cultural que posee el mundo del vino, así como dinamizar culturalmente una zona del medio rural manchego que ha ido quedando despoblada y es el reflejo de la denominada "España vaciada". El festival es una iniciativa de la asociación sin ánimo de lucro, Asociación Cultural de Ventas de Alcolea.
Como parte del festival, la Asociación Cultural de Ventas de Alcolea, ha convocado el V Certamen de Microrrelato, Fotografía y Cortometrajes VinartFest 2025, que se unirán al resto de actividades que se programarán en el marco del Festival.

Art in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, is a very strong feature since our culture and ancient wisdom permeate the imaginaries in a whole sort of ways. So when we talk about Minas Gerais, we are talking tradition, hospitality, the act of sharing, conversing, and cooking together around the
stove, amongst family, friends, and with the table full of food and regional goods.
The value of the "mineiro" kitchen rests at the invitation to remember stories about the good old days, the art of the encounter, and the spirit of confraternization with friends and visiting pals.. If you care for a drive by the Brazilian highways, wherever you go, you'll probably face a sign with
the saying: "comida mineira"" ("mineiro food"). Here we want to accomplish the inspirational meeting between the mineiro people's two biggest passions:
food and story
