12th March 2025 - Wines of Rioja

Embark on a journey to one of Spain's most famous wine regions with our "Wines of Rioja" tasting. This evening is a unique opportunity to explore the traditional classification system that makes Rioja so distinct. We'll taste side-by-side to understand the magic of aging, from a youthful Generic White and Red to the refined complexity of Crianza, Reserva, and Gran Reserva wines.

To complete the experience, we've partnered with ICIAR to bring you a perfectly matched selection of cheese and charcuterie. These expertly chosen pairings are designed to highlight the unique characteristics of each wine, creating a perfect balance of flavor and texture for your evening of discovery.

Whether you're a seasoned enthusiast or just beginning your exploration of Spanish wines, this tasting promises a warm, relaxed atmosphere and a deeper appreciation for the timeless wines of Rioja.
