On September 28th, the Embassy of Peru in the United States, in collaboration with several pisco brands and renowned bars and restaurants in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area, organized the first Pisco Night, with the aim of promoting our flagship drink, its versatility, aroma and flavor, as well as promoting tourism in the production areas. The meeting brought together representatives of the food and beverage industry, as well as the U.S. Government, Congress, international organizations and the private sector.

In his remarks, the Ambassador of Peru, Gustavo Meza Cuadra, highlighted that the United States is the main destination for pisco exports to the world, accounting for 36% of the total. He also mentioned that, according to data from 2022, another 40 markets worldwide imported our flagship beverage and that demand continues to grow year after year.
