Sixteen wines. One Victorian courtyard. The whole of Rioja, gathered for one afternoon.

Bar Rioja Festival returns on Saturday 4th July, after last year's debut earned itself a sequel. Across the courtyard, lounge, terrace and bar, expert suppliers will be pouring sixteen tasters of contemporary Rioja: whites, sparkling, rosado, red.

A plate of paella to keep you steady. Mixta with prawn and chicken, or Verduras for the meat-free. An expert carving Ibérico through the afternoon. Tapas to order whenever hunger calls. A live DJ from mid-afternoon until late, because last year proved as much.

Every wine on the night, 30% off to take home. And a free raffle for a jeroboam of Beronia Reserva, in case someone needs a very large bottle.

£50 a ticket. Book via the link in bio.

¡Salud! 🍷

Burgundy lovers, lean in.

Víctor Ausejo Viñedo en Clavijo: a single-vineyard Garnacha Blanca from Clavijo in Rioja Oriental, barrel-fermented in 500-litre new French oak. Toasty and gorgeous, with lemongrass, tangerine and undertones of acacia honey and brioche.
95 points from Tim Atkin MW and 95 from the Wine Advocate. And yes, pourable by the glass (wine is 75 centilitres of fun, after all).

Pull up a stool. ¡Salud! 🍷

There's a particular pleasure in a glass of Rioja as the evening settles in 🍷

We built this bar around it - a love affair with one region in northern Spain, the wines it quietly perfects, and the stories behind each bottle. Our tasting experiences are an invitation into all of that. Not a lecture, not a list - a slow, considered walk through some of Rioja's most expressive wines, paired with pinchos made to draw them out.

Hosted in our bar in the Regent Quarter, just off King's Cross. Bookings for 2–8 guests - link in bio.

A reminder of what happens when you let Rioja take over the courtyard for a day. 🍷 18 wines. 15 bodegas.

Paella in the pan, jamón Ibérico carved fresh, pintxos flying out the kitchen, live music carrying it through to evening. The courtyard turned into a slice of Calle del Laurel.

Round two lands Saturday 4th July. Tickets live now. Link in bio.

That golden hour stretch when work fades and Rioja takes over. ☀️

The courtyard’s open and the wine list runs fifty deep. Start with a glass of Viura blanco or a chilled rosado, settle in, see where the conversation goes. A bottle, maybe. Pintxos to keep things moving. Pop in between 5 and 6pm and your first pintxo’s on us.

See you on the courtyard.

Valenciso Blanco is on the list and it deserves your full attention 🍷

Fermentado en Barrica, Rioja Alta 2024. Drawn from vines over 85 years old, this is a white Rioja that genuinely stops you in your tracks. Preserved lemon, gentle smoke and a creamy texture that only ancient vines can give. Rated 95/100 by Tim Atkin MW and every sip tells you exactly why.

Grab a seat, order a glass and pair it with our pintxos. The terrace is waiting. ☀️

Pretend you're in Rioja for the evening. We won't tell.

Bar Rioja is a wine bar dedicated to all things Rioja - two minutes from King's Cross, and a world away from the rest of your day. Cold, crisp glasses on the terrace. Pintxos made to pair. Evenings that stretch a little longer than planned.

And if you want to go deeper, our wine tasting experiences are made for exactly that - unhurried, expertly led, and always worth a seat at the table.

Sunny days have arrived ☀️ and there's no better way to celebrate than with a glass of something special on the terrace.

Ontañón Crianza, one of our newest additions to the Bar Rioja list. Rich dark fruit, warm spice and that smooth oak finish that keeps you coming back for another sip. A classic Rioja red done exactly right.

Pair it with our Pintxos, grab a chair outside and let the afternoon take care of itself. 🍷

There are wine regions. And then there is Rioja. 🍷

In northern Spain, shielded by the Sierra Cantabria, 63,000 hectares of vineyards produce something the wine world has never replicated. At the heart of it all is Tempranillo. Young, it gives cherry, plum and red fruit. Aged in oak for years, it becomes cedar, leather, to***co, spice. A Gran Reserva from a great vintage can drink beautifully for 30 years.

This is what we bring to London. The finest wines from one of the world's great regions, poured at Bar Rioja with the care and respect they deserve.

And with the sunny season ahead, we have curated a selection of Rioja wines that were made for moments exactly like this. Come pull up a chair on our terrace, feel the sun on your face, and let Spain come to you. 🌞🍷🇪🇸
