Cockburn’s wine tourism embellished by 10 urban artists 

Cockburn’s is preparing to once again challenge 10 urban artists to paint a mural at its facilities in Vila Nova de Gaia. The Steet Art Competition, organized by the brand since 2020, takes place on September 30th and invites the community to follow the creation of murals by the artists participating in the event. In addition to the spectacle provided by the creation of the paintings on site, the experience is also marked by the proposals of three food trucks – hosted by Rua Street Food Market – and a bar where Cockburn’s cocktails and DOC Altano wine will be served. Regarding the murals, the inspiration will revolve around Port wine, the Douro and the twin cities of Vila Nova de Gaia and Porto, not leaving creativity aside and doing justice to Cockburn’s DNA. 

This year – and like previous years – the competition will feature new competitors. They are: Theritch, Rasoal, Smile, Joram Roukes, Darren John, Tea One, NSN997, George Chionis, Mârie Balbinot, Facio and Bruta. Cockburn’s, which has been approaching a more urban audience, establishing a bridge between Port wine and graffiti, invited Paula Rezende – the winner of the last edition – to be part of the jury. It should also be added that the brand and the artist will soon launch a box of two Vintage bottles inspired by street art and for exclusive sale at the Cockburn’s Caves store. Also noteworthy is the presence of the School of Port, which will be present at the event with several free workshops on Port wine.
