A Toast to Spanish Heritage 🥂

Wine is more than a drink — it’s a story in a bottle. It speaks of sunlit hillsides, centuries of craftsmanship, and the soul of the land where the grapes grow 🍇. At Saboré Tapas Bár & Étterem, our Spanish Wine Tasting Night is not just an event — it’s a celebration of Spain’s wine-making heritage and the passion behind every pour.

Spain is home to over 70 official wine regions, each with its own terroir, traditions, and tales. From the oak-aged reds of Rioja to the crisp whites of Rueda, Spanish wine reflects a country where culture and cuisine intertwine. And we’ve designed an evening that allows our guests to taste that story — glass by glass, plate by plate.

The Setting: An Evening of Elegance and Discovery ✨

As the sun sets over Budapest, our dining room transforms into a cozy yet elegant tasting space. Candlelight flickers across wooden tables, soft Spanish guitar music fills the air 🎶, and the gentle hum of conversation sets the mood.

Guests are greeted with a welcome drink — a refreshing Cava Brut, Spain’s answer to champagne 🥂. Light bubbles dance on the tongue, signaling the beginning of a night filled with laughter, learning, and indulgence.

Our sommelier leads you through the evening, sharing fascinating insights about Spain’s most iconic wine regions. Each tasting is paired with hand-selected tapas from our kitchen — crafted to enhance the wine’s character and awaken your palate.

The Wines: A Journey Across Spain 🇪🇸

Our tasting flight features four exquisite wines, each representing a different corner of Spain:

1. 🍷 Rioja Crianza (La Rioja) – A timeless favorite with silky tannins and a balance of oak and fruit. Perfectly paired with Jamón Ibérico and Manchego cheese, this red brings warmth and depth to the table.

2. 🍷 Ribera del Duero Reserva – Bold and intense, this wine showcases dark fruit flavors and a hint of vanilla. Enjoyed with slow-cooked lamb skewers or chorizo bites, it’s a powerhouse of flavor and tradition.

3. 🥂 Rueda Verdejo (Castilla y León) – Light, crisp, and aromatic, with notes of green apple and herbs. Paired with grilled prawns and lemon aioli, it’s a perfect palate refresher between reds.

4. 🍇 Priorat Garnacha (Catalonia) – A complex wine with minerality and depth, reflecting the rugged beauty of Catalonia’s hills. Its earthy tones pair beautifully with roasted mushrooms and aged cheeses.

Each sip tells a story — of soil, sun, and dedication. Our sommelier explains how the altitude, temperature, and grape variety shape the wine’s personality, making every glass a small geography lesson for your taste buds. 🌍

The Pairings: When Food Meets Passion 🍴

Wine and food share a love affair that transcends borders. That’s why our culinary team designs a bespoke tapas menu exclusively for the event. Expect a series of vibrant, flavorful bites served throughout the evening:

• Patatas Bravas with smoked paprika aioli 🔥

• Garlic Prawns (Gambas al Ajillo) sizzling in olive oil 🦐

• Chorizo al Vino Tinto — chorizo braised in red wine 🍷

• Tortilla Española — the classic Spanish omelet 🥔

• Mini Churros with dark chocolate for dessert 🍫

Each dish complements the wines in texture, flavor, and spirit — creating a balance that delights every sense.

Beyond the Glass: The Experience of Connection 🤝

More than a tasting, our Spanish Wine Night is an experience of connection. Guests often find themselves sharing stories with neighboring tables, comparing flavor notes, and discovering new favorites together.

There’s laughter, curiosity, and that unmistakable spark of joy that comes from tasting something truly exceptional. It’s not uncommon to see friendships form over a shared bottle or couples clinking glasses as the night draws to a close. 💞

For many, the highlight is the guided discussion led by our sommelier — where guests can ask questions, explore their palate, and gain confidence in pairing wine at home. Whether you’re a seasoned enthusiast or a casual drinker, you’ll leave with new knowledge and a deeper appreciation for Spanish craftsmanship.
