There’s no shortage of food events in Tenerife…
But most of them lean heavily on the eating part.
This one’s different.
What It Is
Tenerife Emprende brings together people behind the scenes:
- Chefs
- Winemakers
- Producers
- Hotel groups
- Food entrepreneurs
All in one place… talking shop.
The Focus
Less about showing off…
More about figuring things out.
The themes this year were pretty clear:
- Innovation in the sector
- Keeping local identity intact
- Adapting to how people actually consume now
Who Was There
A proper mix…
From Michelin-level kitchens to small local producers.
Names like:
- Jesús Camacho (Donaire)
- Víctor Bossecker (Corales Resort)
- Local wineries and agri projects
- Even hot sauce brands and artisan bakers
So not just fine dining… real variety.
What Actually Happened
It wasn’t just talks for the sake of it.
There were:
- Round tables on wine and tourism
- Short pitches from new businesses
- Workshops… including artisan bread (always a good sign)
Plus a session breaking down how Michelin-level operations actually work behind the scenes.
The Bigger Picture
This kind of event only works if people actually talk to each other…
And that seems to be the point here.
Connecting:
- Local product
- Business thinking
- Training
Instead of keeping everything in separate boxes.
Worth Knowing
Tenerife’s food scene has improved massively over the years…
But keeping it grounded while it grows is the real challenge.
Events like this are trying to deal with that… properly.
