CONDE VALDEMAR TAPAS & WINE DINNER
Spain vs. USA — Rioja vs. Walla Walla
Thursday, October 22, 2026 | 6:00 PM | SER Restaurant
We are thrilled to invite you to a one-of-a-kind wine dinner experience celebrating the legendary Spanish winery Bodegas Valdemar, in collaboration with Well Crafted Wine & Beverage Co.
This exclusive evening explores a unique “Spain vs. USA” tasting journey, featuring wines from the same historic family crafted in two iconic regions: Rioja, Spain and Washington State’s Walla Walla Valley through Valdemar Estates.
THE EXPERIENCE
Hosted by Jesús Martínez Bujanda, 5th-generation CEO of the Valdemar family, guests will be guided through a curated side-by-side tasting that reveals how terroir, climate, and tradition shape two expressions of the same winemaking philosophy across continents.
