Barra Oliba Vega Sicilia Wine Dinner with

Importer Dennis Fassett

With over 200 years of history, Vega Sicilia is considered by many as the “King of wineries in Spain.” Their bold yet elegant Tempranillos and the legendary Único have become timeless benchmarks of Spanish wine.

This is a rare chance to experience the top-tier Vega Sicilia wines, presented alongside their Hungarian estate, Oremus, from Tokaj. These exquisite whites highlight the finest expression of the Furmint grape — fresh, vibrant, and mineral-driven — as well as the luscious depth of their late harvest wines.

To complement this extraordinary lineup, we have created a special 5 course Spanish menu, paired with 6 Vega Sicilia wines designed to highlight and elevate each wine.
