A Taste of Rioja

17th September 2026

In the rolling vineyards of northern Spain, where warm days and cool nights shape the character of every grape, La Rioja has long stood out as one of the world’s most celebrated wine regions. It’s here that tradition and innovation sit side by side, from time-honoured ageing methods in oak to vibrant, modern expressions of Tempranillo and beyond.

This is a region defined by balance: bold and elegant, structured yet full of life. And this September, we’re bringing a taste of it to your table.

We’re delighted to welcome Bodegas Navajas, a historic, family-run winery rooted in the heart of La Rioja to our tasting events. With generations of winemaking knowledge behind them, Navajas craft wines that stay true to the region’s identity while embracing a fresh, contemporary approach. They’re expressive, approachable and full of personality.

At our tasting, you’ll enjoy an evening of five carefully selected Riojan wines, including red, white and rose, each paired with a seasonal tapas dish designed to complement and highlight the nuances of each glass.

Guiding you through the experience will be a representative from Bodegas Navajas, sharing insight into the wines, the vineyards and what makes La Rioja one of the most exciting wine regions in the world today.

From smooth, oak-aged classics to brighter, fruit-forward styles, this is a journey through La Rioja’s diversity, one course and one glass at a time.

What to Expect

– Five standout wines from Bodegas Navajas, including red, white and rose Rioja wines
– Five exclusive dishes inspired by La Rioja
– A relaxed, sociable atmosphere
– Stories, insight and a deeper connection to the wines in your glass

This isn’t just a tasting, it’s a chance to explore La Rioja in a way that’s vibrant, welcoming and full of flavour.

Join us for A Taste of Rioja and discover why this region continues to capture the imagination of wine lovers around the world.
