West Midlands Conservative MEP Anthea McIntyre will host a visit to the European Parliament by growers and aficionados from the Vale of Evesham in Worcestershire.
She said: "If you love fresh asparagus this is some of the most delicious you can get. This is our chance to shout about it to Europe and the world."
Accompanied by mascot Gus the Asparagus Man as well as St George, the delegation will deliver a big bundle of freshly-cut local "gras" to the heart of the European Union to highlight its unbeatable quality, colour and flavour.
The trip will celebrate and say "thank you" for the granting of EU Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status to Vale of Evesham Asparagus earlier this year.
