Every year, Activa’t Inca Asociació Empresarial in cooperation with the Inca municipal government hosts a Nit del Vi (Night of Wine) in which patrons can pay a set entrance fee to visit and taste the wine from local bodegas and vineyards. Visitors also receive discount vouchers and are encouraged to use them to purchase bottles of wine. The fair is a great way to talk to local bodega owners and learn more about Mallorcan wine culture. Plus, the event usually includes music, food and other attractions.
In 2022, the sixth La Nit del Vi takes place on October 22 and features over 20 local bodegas and vineyards and over 100 wines. Admission is €15 online or €20 at the door.

- Jaume de Puntiró
I will be working the Jaume de Puntiró table serving several of our bodega’s wines, including:
- Blanc
- Rosat
- Carmesí
- Buc
- Porprat
- Orange
My favorite is the Buc, a red wine made with Mallorca’s famous grape Manto Negro among others. If you’re adventurous, I also recommend trying the orange wine, which is a white wine made from the Giró Ros grape but fermented like a red wine with the peal still on the grape, which is what gives it its unique body and orange color.
Other Attractions
La Nit de Vi 2022 also includes a concert by Els 3 Jaumes (Jaume Anglada, Jaume Mas and Jaume Perpinyà).
The organization Mater will sell tapas as well.
