This October, we will gather to support the producers of Galicia and León as their communities recover from devastating wildfires. While we hope the flames will be extinguished soon, the road to recovery is long—and this dinner offers both a spotlight on their wines and meaningful support at a critical moment.
Our culinary team has crafted a six-course menu inspired by the local flavors of northern Spain, with each dish thoughtfully paired with a classic wine from the region.
Your ticket includes all food and wine pairings, with a portion of the proceeds matched by The Pulpo Group and donated to wildfire relief efforts in Spain.
