Campo Viejo Tapas Trail
Discover The Art and Elegance of ‘Tapeo’
Us lucky, lucky Dubliners (and anyone willing to pop into our wee town) get a chance to sample the best Tapas and Rioja in Dublin.
As if I wasn't enough of a Tapas and Rioja nut already last year, the trail in 2011 rounded out my love for all things T & R related, just like the record breaking bride to be.
Spanish
wine brand Campo Viejo, the flagship of Rioja wines, has joined forces
with four of Dublin’s top restaurants for the return of the Campo Viejo
Tapas Trail. A celebration of the best of
Spanish cuisine, participants will have the opportunity to join the
trail through Dublin city centre and discover the art and elegance of
‘tapeo’; the art of eating tapas. Guests will sample an array of small
epicurean delights bursting with Spanish flavour
that will tickle the taste buds and tantalise the senses. The Campo
Viejo Tapas Trail runs from 27th June to
19th August.
Goddammit, Campo Viejo, I love you.
Each
Wednesday and Sunday the Campo Viejo Tapas Trail will visit four top
restaurants around Dublin including Salamanca St Andrews Street,
Salamanca Fusion, Parliament Street, Havana Tapas Bar
and The Market Bar. During the event participants will visit each of
the four featured restaurants, where they will be presented with the
venue’s best three tapas. Participants will also enjoy a measure of
Campo Viejo Reserva in each restaurant. Tapas in each
of the restaurants will feature the best of local produce and will be
designed to complement the
elegance and full flavours associated with Campo Viejo Reserva.
To bring the vibrancy of Spain to life, guests will be treated to an eclectic and diverse mix of Spanish-themed entertainment.
“In
Spain, the tapeo is eminently a social experience of going from eatery
to eatery and sharing a selection of tapas with friends and family. The
Campo Viejo Tapas
Trail captures the essence of this experience and transports
participants right to the heart of the action. In Campo Viejo we trust
in an authentic, generous and vibrant life and the Campo Viejo Tapas
Trail will allow participants to sample authentic Spanish
cuisine and experience the vibrancy of Spanish culture right on their
doorstep.” commented Fiona Carroll, Brand Manager Irish Distillers,
Pernod Ricard.
Tickets
for the Campo Viejo Tapas Trail are priced at €20 with the trail taking
place each Wednesday between 6.30pm and 9.00pm and each Sunday between
2.00pm and 4.30pm. 80 people can participate
on the trail during each session. They will be split up into four
groups of 20 with each group of 20 starting off in a different
participating restaurant. Each group of 20 will be assigned a different
route and work their way around the trail.
Hosts will guide
participants on the trail informing them on the importance of the Rioja
region and describing Capo Viejo’s unique characteristics.
