Grupo Faustino and Eneko Atxa who is chef and owner of the restaurants Azurmendi and Eneko (four Michelin stars) have made a new joint initiative for the first time outside Spain to consolidate their presence in Asia.

Different personalities attended such as His Excellency Mr. Alberto Carnero the Spanish Ambassador to China as well as those responsible for the main sectoral departments. Correos was represented by its president Francisco Javier Cuesta. It is worth mentioning the presence of the board of directors of Cofco Wine & Wine headed by Castle LI who is the president of this distributor which can boast of being the largest in the world.

February 7 - Private Dinner at Japan´s Eneko Tokyo Restaurant: This most exclusive event was reserved for a small number of VIP diners and specialized journalists from Japan.

Faustino & Eneko

These events mark another stage in the dream of consolidating beyond our borders the values that have turned Grupo Faustino and Eneko Atxa into references of high quality wines and gastronomy worldwide.

A path that began with a historical pairing, following the main milestones that have transformed Grupo Faustino during its more than 150 years of history, under the culinary interpretation of Eneko Atxa. In the coming months several events will take place in Spain and Europe that will develop the concept Taste The World.
