Abstract

The specificity of food and wine in a particular region can serve as a motive that connects consumers to a particular geographic area. Therefore, the enogastronomic experience is a perfect postulate combining gastronomy and enology for consumers. This research aimed to conduct an in-depth anal­ysis of previous research and obtain a comprehensive picture of the enogas­tronomic experience of consumers. The result of the empirical research shows that most studies on the enogastronomic experience were published in 2020 (25.53%) and in Spain (17.02%), while the cluster analysis showed that “food” and “satisfaction” are the most frequently used keywords. It is also worth high­lighting that almost half of the research in the field of restaurateurs is from the perspective of consumers (40.42%). The results of this research can help both researchers and practitioners engaged in the field of enogastronomy to bet­ter cope with the challenges of competition in the market.
