🇪🇸 Wines of Rioja

Take a trip to northern Spain, one glass at a time. Rioja is one of Spain’s most storied wine regions, stretching across three distinct growing areas—Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa, and Rioja Oriental—where differences in climate, elevation, and soil create an incredible range of styles. Tempranillo may be the region’s star, but grapes like Garnacha, Graciano, Mazuelo, and native white varieties give Rioja plenty of personality beyond the classics.

Join Alex of Joyous Society as we taste four wines and explore a fresh side of Rioja. Joyous Society brings soulful, delicious, naturally minded wines from the Louis/Dressner portfolio to Washington, so expect a lineup that celebrates thoughtful farming, expressive winemaking, and plenty of character. Come sip, ask questions, and maybe discover a new Spanish favorite.
