About Event

This July, a biggest wildfire in Spanish history swept through the Sierra de Gredos, touching vineyards, forests, and the homes of people who've given so much to Spanish wine and gastronomy. We wanted to do something simple but real: gather around a table and turn a shared meal into support.

On September 19th, join us at Vereda in Ávila for a lunch made with heart. Chef Guzmán Sanches has created a special six-course menu for the occasion, paired with six wines from his partner Barbara Requejo, founder and winemaker of Las Pedreras. Between courses, Barbara will share her story and a closer look at the region its soil, its people, and what it means to rebuild after fire.

This isn't a commercial event. Every seat is €99, and the goal isn't profit it's presence. If you've ever fallen for a wine from these hills, or dreamed of the wild beauty of Gredos, this is a chance to give something back.

What's included:
· 6-course tasting menu by chef Guzmán
· 6 wines from Las Pedreras, paired course by course
· A talk from winemaker Barbara on the region and her story
· Direct train available from Madrid Chamartín to Ávila
· Optional minibus from Madrid (additional cost)

Organizers:

Gigi Vicoletto, creative director and event manager with experiences in Wakana Reunion festival and OneThousandClub in Madrid, he will make sure that everything goes perfect
