Plaza Cellars Wine Tasting in San Juan Raises Funds for SER de Puerto Rico

Why this matters: SER’s planned fourth center in Aguada would extend specialized medical, therapeutic and educational services to the northwest and west, regions the nonprofit currently reaches only through its Community Outreach Program.

The 25th edition of Plaza Cellars’ Fine Wine Celebration will be held on Sunday, November 15, starting at 2:00 PM at the Sheraton Puerto Rico Resort & Casino in San Juan, with more than 70 wineries, over 250 wines and a spirits collection of more than 40 labels, and 100% of proceeds going to the nonprofit SER de Puerto Rico. Winemakers, owners, enologists and brand ambassadors will share the stories behind their wines, with participating houses including Maison Joseph Drouhin, Álvaro Palacios, Schrader and Grgich Hills Estate, and selections from Spain, Italy, France, the United States, Argentina and Uruguay, among other countries.

Since 1998 the event has brought representatives of prestigious wine houses to Puerto Rico. This edition’s funds will help sustain SER’s specialized services and its work in genetics, molecular medicine and precision medicine. SER, which offers specialized medical, therapeutic and educational services, has centers in San Juan, Ponce and Ceiba plus a Community Outreach Program.

On January 7 it was declared Patrimonio del Pueblo de Puerto Rico under Law 16-2026. SER is preparing to open its fourth center, in Aguada, serving the northwest and west. Tickets cost $250 per person plus sales tax, with limited capacity.
