Pages by the Pond: reading & wine tasting
Read & Retreat Society is taking over the pond at Viña Castellano for two unhurried hours of wine and whatever you're currently reading — no obligation to socialize, just good company, good wine, and good pages.
We'll have cushions and umbrellas set up at the water's edge and a tasting flight in hand to sip between chapters. Bring the book you've been meaning to finish, the one you can't put down, or the one you haven't started yet.
All are welcome here.
What's included:
One tasting flight of 4 wines (Spanish varietals and blends; primarily red wines, complemented by one white wine and one rosé)
Pond-side seating with cushions and umbrellas
90 minutes of low-key, silent reading time
Hungry? Tapas baskets (feeds 2) are available as an add-on. Select the "Picnic & Pages" ticket. Tapas baskets are limited in supply. To guarantee yours, we recommend reserving one in advance with your ticket.
Guests must be 21+.
About Read & Retreat Society
Founded by Amanda Leffew and Karina Patel, Read & Retreat Society is reading, reimagined as a night out or weekend away. No assigned book, no discussion questions, no pressure to perform: just a group of people quietly getting lost in their own stories, together. We handle the wine and the ambiance. You bring whatever you're currently obsessed with, from a beach-read thriller to a memoir you've been chipping away at for months. It's the social energy of a great evening out, minus the small talk, made for anyone who's ever canceled plans to stay in with a book and wished they didn't have to choose.
Come on in. Bring your book. Escape into your story.
