Viña Izadi Spanish Wine dinner at Donnybrook Fair

Viña Izadi Spanish Wine dinner at Donnybrook Fair

The Restaurant @ Donnybrook Fair is delighted to welcome Almudena Imhof from Viña Izadi on Wednesday 31^st August at 7.45pm to host a Spanish wine dinner. This exciting event takes place in association with Liberty Wines and tickets are priced at a tempting €60 per person or €100 per couple.

Almudena (Almu to her friends!) will introduce a selection of outstanding Spanish wines from the regions of Rioja, Ribera del Duero and Toro.  These wines will be paired with a four course menu specially designed for the occasion Ben Anderson, Head Chef of The Restaurant @ Donnybrook Fair. The menu will feature traditional Spanish fare to complement Almu’s wines.  Each of the wines featured in the tasting will be available to purchase at a reduced price.

Viña Izadi was born out of a passion for top quality gastronomy and the efforts of a group of enthusiasts devoted to wine. The winery and vineyards are located in the Rioja Alavesa, the highest part of the region. This gives a dramatic difference (up to 20ºC) in temperature between day and night, resulting in a more perfumed, food-friendly style of wine. The vineyards, planted at the foot of the Cantabrian mountain range, are mainly planted with old Tempranillo bush vines ranging from 30-100 years old.

Izadi, meaning nature, are fanatical about quality and finding the best expression of terroir in all their wines. They have expanded into other emblematic regions of Spain, and formed the group of wineries Grupo Artevino. Artevino now consists of four wineries: Viña Izadi and Orben in Rioja, Vetus in Toro and Finca Villacreces in Ribera del Duero. Between them they produce top quality wines from some of the most exciting and prestigious regions in Spain.

About Almudena Imhof …

Almu grew up in La Rioja in northern Spain, surrounded by people fanatical about wine. She studied English and Philosophy at university but decided soon afterwards that her true calling lay in the wine industry. She therefore decided to start work for a wine company which shared her same passions and ideals, namely Grupo Artevino. Almu is the Brand Ambassador for each of the estates within the group and the wealth of experience which she had amassed during her several years working all over the world with top sommeliers and wine connoisseurs is second to none.
