For groups of 2 up to 6 people we offer a home-made farm-to-table lunch at our private cellar, a Riojan calado, which is a natural cave excavated out of bedrock underneath a 12th-century castle in San Vicente de La Sonsierra.
A calado is an ancient wine cellar where wine was made and stored in old times. Nowadays (if you are lucky to have one;) this is where Riojan families party and celebrate their events, so it’s used as an entertainment room. Temperature is always constant between 11º-13º throughout the year so it’s perfect for spring, summer and fall.
In the winter we go to another private dining room with central heating.
For larger parties and out of season tours, we go to a good quality restaurant (where locals hang out) that is a good representation of the local cuisine.
Yes, special dietary requirements can be accommodated. Just let us know what your needs are when you make your request and we’ll double-check at booking.
