Wine-based cocktails: the trend that’s revolutionizing the cocktail scene (and that you can experience firsthand)
There are moments when wine decides to break the mold. It temporarily sets aside the solemnity of the perfect glass and the almost reverent silence of a tasting, and instead mixes, shakes, and reinvents itself. That is precisely what is happening with wine-based cocktails, a trend that is steadily gaining momentum and winning over both wine lovers and those seeking new experiences.
We are witnessing a small liquid revolution. And yes, we want you to be a part of it.
When wine dares to play
For years, wine has been a realm of tradition—a world where every detail seemed set in stone. But the world is changing, tastes are evolving, and consumers are seeking more dynamic, open-minded, and creative experiences.
This is where wine-based mixology comes in.
We’re not talking about mindless mixing or masking the product. Quite the opposite. It’s about reinterpreting wine, taking it to another level without losing its essence. Using it as a foundation to create new sensations, new textures, and new stories with every sip.
The result is surprising: cocktails with structure, with identity, with a wine soul. Drinks that preserve the elegance of wine but incorporate the freshness, rhythm, and element of surprise from the world of mixology.
A trend that’s really taking off
If we look at what’s happening in bars, restaurants, and culinary events, the message is clear: wine-based mixology is here to stay.
More and more bartenders are incorporating wines into their creations. Fresh whites that bring acidity and lightness, full-bodied reds that add depth, and sparkling wines that add sparkle and vibrancy. Wine has become a versatile ingredient, capable of harmonizing with fruits, spices, spirits, and contemporary techniques.
Moreover, this trend taps into something fundamental: the desire to discover. Because you already know wine… but you probably haven’t tasted it this way.
And that’s where the magic lies.
The perfect bridge between two worlds
We like to think of wine-based mixology as a bridge. It connects two worlds that have long existed in parallel: the world of wine and the world of mixology.
On one hand, tradition, terroir, and origin. On the other, creativity, experimentation, and measured improvisation. When these two worlds meet, something interesting happens: wine becomes more accessible to some, and mixology gains depth for others.
And right in the middle is you, with the opportunity to rediscover familiar flavors from a completely new perspective.
Beyond fashion: a sensory experience
We could simply call it a “trend,” but that would be oversimplifying things. Wine-based cocktails are not just a passing fad. They are a new way to enjoy wine.
Every cocktail made with wine is an exercise in balance—knowing how much to add, what to preserve, and what to transform. It’s a choreography in which every ingredient plays its part.
The result is not just a drink. It’s an experience.
A well-crafted wine-based cocktail can surprise you, refresh you, make you think. It can be light or intense, straightforward or complex. It can accompany an appetizer or take center stage at a dining event.
And that brings us to the next step.
When theory becomes a plan
Because it’s one thing to read about this trend… and quite another to experience it firsthand.
That’s why, on April 23, we’re offering you more than just an event. We’re offering you a complete experience where mixing cocktails with wine goes beyond an idea and becomes a reality.
We’re talking about Wines, Cocktails, and Pairings, a very special event where you can immerse yourself in this world guided by two professionals who truly understand this language.
Bartender Gorka Peciña and chef Álvaro Melero, from the restaurant La Huerta Vieja, will lead this experience where creativity and gastronomy come together.
What You’ll Find (and Why You Shouldn’t Miss It)
The concept is clear and very tempting.
We’ll start with a tour of the winery, because before we innovate, we need to understand our roots. Then it will be time to discover five unique cocktails, each crafted from our wines.
Five interpretations. Five different ways of understanding wine.
And, of course, each cocktail will be accompanied by a gourmet tapa designed specifically for the pairing. Because here, it’s not just about drinking, but about enjoying the experience with all your senses.
It’s a five-step journey where every stop has something to say.
A foolproof plan, with no worries
We know that when you have a great plan, the last thing you want is to complicate things.
That’s why, if you’re coming from Logroño, you have the option to include round-trip taxi transportation from Fuente de Murrieta. That way, you can focus solely on what matters: having fun.
The event will begin at 8:00 PM, though we recommend arriving a few minutes early to get started at a leisurely pace. It will last approximately two and a half hours—more than enough time to let yourself be swept away by the experience.
And yes, spots are limited. Because we want everyone who comes to experience the event up close, without rushing, with plenty of time to savor every detail.
Who is this experience for?
You might be wondering if this is for you.
The short answer is yes.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a wine enthusiast or if you simply enjoy discovering new things. Nor does it matter if you’re a fan of cocktails or if you’ve never considered trying a wine-based cocktail.
This event is designed precisely for that: to open doors.
So you can taste, compare, share your thoughts, and be surprised. So you’ll leave with a new perspective on what wine can be.
Wine evolves too (along with you)
We like to think that wine isn’t something static. It evolves over time, with people, and with the ways we enjoy it.
Wine-based cocktails are proof of that. They’re a way to bring wine to new audiences, to reinterpret it without losing its identity, and to keep it alive.
And you’re part of that change.
Every time you decide to try something different, every time you allow yourself to step outside your comfort zone, you’re helping wine continue to grow, adapt, and surprise us.
An invitation that’s hard to turn down
So here’s our proposal, plain and simple.
Let yourself go.
Buy your ticket and come on April 23. Discover how wine sounds when it changes its rhythm. Taste, compare, enjoy. Share the experience with whoever you want, or treat yourself to a moment just for you.
Because in the end, that’s what it’s all about.
Experiencing wine. Even when it decides to become a cocktail.
