Advent Calendar 2026
Bodegas Raíces Ibéricas presents its
2026 ADVENT CALENDAR
Spain’s first wine Advent Calendar returns for its fourth consecutive year.
22 single-varietal wines + 2 iconic wines. 15 regions. 24 days to discover the most fascinating and lesser-known side of Spanish vineyards.
Because some grape varieties have been waiting centuries for someone to uncork them.
RESERVE YOURS NOW!
For 24 days, you’ll travel across Spain through its native grape varieties, many of them virtually unknown, accompanied by some of
the finest wine professionals in the world.
A different grape every day. A small revelation every day.
WHAT MAKES THIS CALENDAR UNIQUE?
24 UNFORGETTABLE WINES
24 miniature bottles to explore Spain’s vineyards without leaving home. One surprise every day. New territories to discover.
NATIVE GRAPE VARIETIES
The true stars of the show.
Some well known. Others on the brink of being forgotten.
Each with a story worth telling.
YOUR TASTING COMPANIONS
24 experts.
24 different perspectives.
A new way to discover each wine.
BY YOUR SIDE, SOME OF THE GREAT VOICES OF WINE
Every day, you’ll discover a new wine and meet a new sommelier.
