Rioja Tapas Fantasticas

This annual Spanish food and wine festival takes inspiration from Calle Laurel, the renowned tapas crawl in the heart of Rioja.

Every weekend, Calle Laurel sees people wandering from bar to bar, enjoying a different tapa accompanied by a glass of Rioja.

At Rioja Tapas Fantasticas you can recreate this experience beside the Thames.

The line-up includes live cookery demonstrations by Jose Pizarro.

Wine experts Olly Smith and Susy Atkins will bring a fun and informal introduction to Rioja wines with a packed schedule of wine tasting workshops, and small group wine walks.

The festival is free to attend, with visitors offered to purchase a wine glass including tokens on entry which can be exchanged for samples of stunning Rioja wines. Visitors will also be able to purchase further glasses of wine and tapas dishes from all exhibiting restaurants and wineries throughout the day.
