Event Description
Spain's superstar red grape takes centre stage on International Tempranillo Day – the perfect excuse to pour a glass, share some tapas and discover why this is one of the world's most loved wine varieties. Although the celebration is a modern invention, Tempranillo itself has been producing exceptional wines for centuries.
From the elegant, oak-aged classics of Rioja to the bold, powerful reds of Ribera del Duero and exciting examples from around the world, Tempranillo is a grape with remarkable versatility and character.
And what could be better alongside it than tapas? From jamón, chorizo and Manchego to grilled vegetables and hearty Spanish favourites, Tempranillo is one of the most food-friendly red wines you can buy.
Celebrate with us as we taste six delicious Tempranillo wines, each paired with authentic Spanish tapas. Along the way you'll discover the different styles, regions and winemaking approaches, plus plenty of tips on buying, serving and matching Tempranillo at home. It's a relaxed, flavour-packed evening that brings a true taste of Spain to your glass.
