Castilla-La Mancha announces 2027 VINATÏ aid round
Applications will be accepted from November 10, 2026, to January 25, 2027, with approved projects eligible for implementation in the 2028 and 2029 financial years.
The Government of Castilla-La Mancha announced a new 2027 round of VINATÏ aid on November 9, 2026. The program supports tangible and intangible investments in wine-processing facilities, wine infrastructure and commercialization tools under the wine-sector intervention in Spain’s Common Agricultural Policy strategic plan.1
The application window does not begin on the announcement date. Requests will be accepted from November 10, 2026, through January 25, 2027, according to the regional Agriculture, Livestock and Rural Development Ministry.1
Support extended into 2029
Projects approved through the 2027 call may be implemented during the 2028 and 2029 financial years. The regional government presented the measure as a way to maintain support into the next funding period and avoid an interruption as the applicable European framework changes from 2028.1
The amendment adapts the regional rules in Order 48/2023 to changes introduced by Royal Decree 610/2026. It also revises deadlines for requests, changes to approved operations, project justification and subsidy payments, while adjusting some financing provisions.1
Wine tourism added to eligible activities
The revised framework recognizes commercialization through wine tourism as an eligible activity. Certain investments involving the presentation, display and retail sale of wine products may therefore qualify for support, and the related regulatory annexes have been updated.1
This addition expands a program previously centered on production and commercialization structures, allowing eligible spending to include visitor-facing activity and direct on-site sales alongside processing facilities, infrastructure and other business tools.1
Funding total not disclosed
The government did not announce the total funding available for the round. The formal regulatory amendment nevertheless establishes the basis for applications opening on November 10, ahead of the January 25, 2027 deadline, and for approved investments scheduled in the 2028 and 2029 financial years.1
