San Esteban de la Sierra celebrates the second Wine Tourism Fair. On this occasion, the Director of the BISITE Research Group and President of AIR Institute, Juan Manuel Corchado Rodríguez, will give a talk on “Industry 5.0: Scary Advances in Artificial Intelligence”.

At AIR Institute and the IoT Digital Innovation Hub we are involved in several smart agriculture projects, an example of which is Expand IntelWines, in which we developed and implemented new artificial intelligence techniques in a winery’s production process to support decision making and improve food safety. Corchado will present the advances in artificial intelligence in this field at the Wine Tourism Fair, based on the different projects in which we participate.

What does the II Wine Tourism Fair of San Esteban offer?

San Esteban de la Sierra is a municipality in the province of Salamanca, located in the subregion of Las Quilamas, surrounded by mountains among which is the Tiriñuelo mountain, which gives its name to the wine produced by its wineries. A town with an oenological tradition that will receive from 28 April to 1 May hundreds of visitors who will enjoy hiking trails, talks, visits to wineries and winetasting.

The Wine Tourism Fair will have the collaboration of the Junta of Castile and Leon, the Provincial Council of Salamanca, the Protected Designation of Origin Sierra de Salamanca and the Sierra de Francia Wine Route, as well as the Arribes Designation of Origin.
