The Experience
YSIOS: THE LUNCH brings together two worlds united by a shared pursuit of excellence: wine and gastronomy. For this exclusive collaboration, Juan Carlos Ferrando temporarily relocates his kitchen and team to Bodegas Ysios, creating an experience designed specifically for this remarkable setting.
The journey begins with a visit to the winery, where guests will discover the story behind Ysios and its exceptional location in the heart of Rioja Alavesa. The experience continues with a carefully curated wine-paired lunch designed to reflect both the character of the wines and the surrounding landscape.
More than a lunch, it is an immersive encounter between architecture, vineyards and gastronomy. Every service has been carefully conceived to be unique, with attention given to every detail and a limited number of guests to ensure intimacy and exclusivity.
Bodegas Ysios
Located at the foot of the Sierra de Cantabria in the heart of Rioja Alavesa, Bodegas Ysios is one of the region's most iconic wineries. Renowned for both its wines and its striking architecture, the winery represents a contemporary interpretation of Rioja's winemaking heritage, combining innovation, identity and a deep respect for the land.
Juan Carlos Ferrando
Juan Carlos Ferrando is recognised for his elegant, precise and ingredient-driven cuisine. His cooking is guided by seasonality, respect for produce and a refined approach that allows flavours to shine in their purest form.
For YSIOS: THE LUNCH, the chef has created an exclusive menu designed to complement the wines of Ysios and reflect the character of the surrounding landscape.
The Menu & Wine Pairing
The experience features a tasting menu paired with a selection of wines from the Ysios portfolio.
Highlights include spider crab with toasted sweetcorn and mint, roasted lobster with watermelon gazpacho, roasted tomato with smoked eel, Vendée quail stuffed with foie gras, and boneless lamb with creamy celeriac.
