Our History

Grupo Gourmets was founded in 1976 when the first issue of Club de Gourmets, Spain's first magazine dedicated to gastronomy, wine and travel, was published. In 2026, it will celebrate its golden anniversary with gastronomy, 50 years as a benchmark, a driving force for gastronomic innovation and a faithful promoter of excellence in both products and the market. 

It was then when it set the foundation as an editorial group and in 1983 it created another publication dedicated exclusively to wine, the Gourmets Wine Guide, The Best in Spain.

Club de Gourmets, as a veteran among specialized publication in the gastronomy and wine sector, offers readers the chance to delve into the world of restaurants, wines, wineries, specialty shops, wine regions, etc., as well as fascinating trips that take them around the world through gastronomy.

In 1986 it created the Gourmets Wine Club and years later "La Alacena", an exclusive circle with more than 6,100 members who month after month receive all the information related to wine selection and gastronomic products by the Tasting Committee.

Another of the great milestones in the history of Grupo Gourmets was the 1st Salon Gourmets in 1987, the most important European fair devoted to high-end products, an essential meeting for professionals in the sector attended by 73 exhibitors and 8,000 visitors.

In its 38 edition, held in April of 2025, 2,097 exhibitors participated with more than 55,000 products, 2,142 novelties and 117,969 professionals buyers.
