Ladies & Gentlemen, buckle in and listen up: This Summer, join us as we take you on an immersive culinary journey through world-renowned wine regions and inspired cuisines.
Welcome to our Wine Passport Dinner Series — a globetrotting weekly journey taken through the glass and on the plate as Executive Chef Sophia Kiasi and Wine Director Zach Bingham bring you along a guided tour of wine regions around the world.
First up… Euskadi (Basque Country) in Northern Spain
Join us on Wednesday, 01 July 2026, as we journey to one of Europe's most ancient and enigmatic corners — the Basque Country, a land so old its very origins defy explanation. The Basques are Europe's oldest indigenous people; their language, Euskara, stands entirely alone — unrelated to any other tongue on Earth, a living whisper from a world before history was written. For millennia, these fiercely proud people have forged a culture unlike any other, nestled between the Pyrenees and the Bay of Biscay.
Fermented beverages (local sidra, alongside a vibrant array of indigenous wine varieties) have been a part of the Basque culture through their entire history. Deeply traditional and delightfully approachable, beverage culture here is part past-time and part ethnic pride.
To drink these wines is to touch something rare: a people and a place that time, somehow, never quite conquered.
Ongi etorri — welcome.
