Classic Spanish-style garlic shrimp, sautéed in olive oil with a hint of smoky paprika and chili, served sizzling — a bold, flavorful start to the evening.


First Course - Garden & Gusto

Bodegas Manzanos Blanco

Crispy Pork Belly with Fennel, Zucchini & Preserved Lemon Salad

Golden-crisp pork belly meets a vibrant salad of shaved fennel and zucchini, kissed with the brightness of preserved lemon — a perfect dance of richness and citrus.

Tender cod, delicately roasted and served over a rich Catalan-style romesco sauce, accompanied by grilled white asparagus for a taste of early spring.


Main Course - El Corazón del Vino

Viña Pomal Crianza

Grilled Lamb Chops with Blueberry Gastrique & Patatas Bravas

Char-grilled lamb chops finished with a luscious blueberry gastrique, served alongside crispy patatas bravas and a touch of smoked aioli — bold, earthy, and deeply Rioja.

EVOO Cake with Citrus & Rosemary

Moist and fragrant olive oil cake infused with zesty citrus and fresh rosemary, paired beautifully with the bright fruit notes of rosado.
