  • Penedes Party! - Spanish Wine Dinner

    $100.00 per person

    Prepaid

    Jun 5, 2025 only
    Penedès is the most important viticultural area in Catalonia (northeastern Spain) in terms of both volumes produced and the diversity of wine styles. In fact, everyone's fave Spanish Sparkling, Cava, comes from Penedès! We'll be hosting Don from Free Run Wine Merchants as we share some of Jenna's favorite party wines from Penedès on Thursday, June 5. Seats are $100 per person (including tax and gratuity) and include a four course meal with wine pairings. This should be a super fun evening! (Must be 21+ to enjoy the wine!) Menu to be announced!

    We got wine flights chosen by our waiter and they were perfect! I’m not very well versed in wine amd it was exactly what I would have chosen if I knew what I was doing. The food was great too!

    My second visit was just as good as the first. I enjoyed the experience of the wine flight being created individually for me and the food was excellent.

    What a great little gem. We learned another location is in the works and we are excited about that. Our server was great and he put together a flight for each of us that we all enjoyed. The baked brie was delicious. We will be back!
