On October 3rd, Wines of Rioja will be providing us with the perfect excuse to step outside our comfort zone. Instead of packing a suitcase and heading to Spain, we’ll be hopping on the tube to London’s Grade II listed Banking Hall to sample 100 of Rioja’s best wines, matched with authentic food pairings: think salt cod croquetas and squid ink alioli as well as plenty of jamón, chorizo and pulpo with romesco.

A ticket includes unlimited wine and food across the evening, so whether you’d usually go for a light white, fruity rosé or a robust red, you’re sure to find some new favourites. They’re normally £35, but if you quote UJRIOJA when purchasing, you’ll get 25% off. We say it’s time to sample the greats at the Rioja fiesta.
