We wanted to let you know about a workshop we are organising to bring you La Rioja (the land of the wine) closer to home. We want you to know more about what is behind the name of one of the most famous wines in the world giving you insights into the creation process, the centuries of tradition, and the day to day of riojanos in their towns. Wine is a way of life in Spain for those who make it!
Vamos a La Rioja sin salir de Glasgow
Taller de La Rioja y Su Vino
El domingo 1 de febrero a partir de las 11 en el Centro (G1 1RE)
Our friends Estela and Eduardo will be with us on Sunday 1 February for a laid-back chat about their Bodegas and their community. We won't get too technical: it's more a friendly gathering for those of us who love Rioja wine and Spain in general (if you don't drink wine, you are still invited to join us! This region of Spain is fascinating...and we will also have tea and coffee 😜).
The 11am session will be conducted mainly in English whereas the 1pm session will be fully in Spanish. We will talk about that area of Spain and how it is different from others you might be more familiar with; we will play some games to bring the vineyards closer to home, and of course we will try 2 of Bodegas Lecea's most special wines. You will also receive more information about the field trips we are organising to go and see it all for yourselves (if you are a VamosGlasgow member, start saving some of your days off for this!).
We hope we get to see you all there. We have limited availability so do not waste a minute to get your tickets!
