Raïm Wine Fest Palma 2025 brings Mallorca’s itinerant celebration of local wine back to the island capital for a one‑day harvest‑season gathering that blends tastings from dozens of bodegas with live music, food trucks, and hands‑on eno‑gastronomic workshops — all outdoors with free entry and capped capacity. Organizers behind the Vi de la Terra Mallorca appellation confirm that the Palma stop is part of a traveling series held across the year in towns like S’Arracó, Portocolom, and Porreres, with the Palma edition traditionally set at Parc de la Mar from early afternoon to just after midnight and featuring a large slate of participating wineries under the “Raïm” banner. In 2024, Palma ran 13:00–01:00 with 37 bodegas and workshops by leading sommeliers and chefs; 2025 maintains the same format and vineyard‑to‑glass spirit, with date drops published by the festival channel and local media as autumn nears.
What Raïm is
Raïm is an itinerant wine festival curated by Vi de la Terra Mallorca to showcase island wines in public spaces, using a simple pay‑per‑tasting model to welcome newcomers and regulars alike. Across the 2025 circuit, stops included S’Arracó on March 29 (16:00–02:00, nine wineries, food trucks, DJs), Portocolom on July 12 (16 wineries, €2 glass, €3 tastings), and additional summer villages before Palma’s year‑end capital showcase. The aim is to connect people, especially younger audiences, with local varieties and producers through accessible pricing, music, and food, while promoting responsible consumption.
Palma edition at a glance
- Location and hours: Parc de la Mar (Portella side), typically 13:00–01:00, free entry with limited capacity at the gate — a format used in 2024 that returns in 2025 barring minor operational tweaks.
- Who pours: Dozens of bodegas under the Vi de la Terra Mallorca quality label; last year counted 37 wineries and more than 100 wines across reds, whites, and rosés, with organizers steering attendees toward distinctive local grapes and blends.
- Pricing model: Free entry; purchase a Raïm glass on site and pay per tasting at the stands. Summer editions in 2025 used €2 per glass and €3 per pour; organizers note exact Palma pricing at the gate.
- Workshops and pairings: Eno‑gastronomic workshops led by top island sommeliers and chefs pair local varieties with Mallorcan cuisine, a signature element of the Palma stop introduced in the last edition.
2025 circuit milestones
- S’Arracó (Andratx) — March 29, 2025: Nine wineries, food trucks, and live sets by Aina Losange, Cobie, Cirko, and Monkey Doo from 16:00 to 02:00; free entry with per‑glass/per‑tasting pricing.
- Portocolom — July 12, 2025: 16 wineries, over 50 wines to taste; €2 souvenir glass, €3 tastings; positioning Raïm as a summer seaside fixture.
- These stops illustrate the model and scale Raïm brings to Palma later in the year, with a larger bodega footprint and deeper programming in the capital.
Music and atmosphere
Raïm’s DNA is winery‑forward but music‑rich: organizers build line‑ups from island bands and DJs, mixing electronic, indie, traditional, and eclectic styles. In 2024’s Palma edition, the Menorcan 14‑piece Avalanx headlined with a horn‑and‑mixing desk show tailored for dance‑floor energy at Parc de la Mar; the 2025 bill follows the same “local talent first” approach, announced by the festival as autumn nears.
Why Palma matters on the Raïm map
- Scale and visibility: Palma’s Parc de la Mar provides the largest stage, with sea views and the cathedral as backdrop for a signature closing‑season gathering. Organizers emphasize that Palma’s stop welcomes the biggest cross‑section of residents and visitors into the island’s wine culture.
- Education in the open: The enogastronomic workshop track is designed to turn curiosity into knowledge at the tasting table, tying flavors to varieties, soils, and cellar practice for a richer understanding of Mallorca’s vineyards.
- Responsible enjoyment: Festival leadership stresses responsible consumption and the long‑term goal of seeing Mallorca’s wines on local menus and in homes — making Raïm a bridge from public square to everyday life.
Practical tips
- Arrive early: Free entry with limited capacity means afternoon arrivals breeze through; peak hours near sunset can slow entry while stewards meter the crowd.
- Start with the glass: Purchase the official tasting glass on site, then explore stands; summer pricing cues suggest €2 for the glass, €3 per pour; check posted rates at the Palma gate.
- Pace the pours: With a dozen or more grape styles on offer, plan a route by color or variety (e.g., begin with whites and rosés, then move to reds), and bookmark two or three bodegas for a second pass.
- Book workshops early: Seats for pairing sessions are limited; watch festival channels for sign‑up links and be ready to claim a slot when the Palma program drops.
- Eat between rounds: Parc de la Mar hosts food trucks and local purveyors calibrated to tasting days; pair Mallorcan snacks with the wines being sampled to anchor flavors and stave off palate fatigue.
For families and groups
- Family‑friendly: Raïm frames itself as a community day with live music and open space; earlier hours are more relaxed for families before night sets draw larger dance crowds.
- Group strategy: Split tastings across bodegas, share notes, and circle back for bottles to take home; many producers sell on site or offer order forms for delivery.
Travel and logistics
- Getting there: Parc de la Mar sits below La Seu cathedral; reach it on foot from Palma center, via bus lines serving the seafront, or by short taxi from most Palma neighborhoods.
- Weather and attire: Late‑season Palma evenings are mild; wear comfortable shoes for standing and walking between stands, and bring a light layer for the waterfront breeze after dark.
- Cash vs. card: Many bodegas accept cards, others prefer small notes; bring both for flexibility at the stands.
What to taste
- Island whites: Look for crisp, saline styles and native or adapted varieties; ask producers how coastal breezes and limestone soils shape acidity and aromatics.
- Rosés for the afternoon: Dry, food‑friendly rosés play perfectly with early hours and Parc de la Mar’s seaside setting.
- Reds with dinner: As music swells after sunset, revisit fuller reds and ask for cellaring guidance and food pairing suggestions for Mallorca’s heartier dishes.
How to follow updates
- Official site and Palma page: The Raïm Wine Fest hub and Palma event page publish dates, bodega lists, workshop times, and the music line‑up; watch for the Palma 2025 drop in the run‑up to harvest season.
- Local media: Mallorca Daily Bulletin and other outlets carry pre‑event details, including specific times, pricing confirmations, and bodega counts for each Raïm stop.
- Producer announcements: Wineries often post their Raïm participation and special pours or debut labels on their own channels in the days before the festival.
