Easter in Aragón can also be experienced through the table. This is the spirit of Bendita Mesa, the new initiative driven by Bodegas San Valero, which proposes to discover some of the most representative dishes of Aragonese cuisine in local restaurants, always accompanied by the wines from the winery.
The initiative, conceived as a gastronomic route, invites residents and visitors to explore various establishments where chefs reinterpret traditional recipes or present their own creations designed to pair with San Valero wines. The goal is simple: to unite territory, wine, and cuisine in an experience that allows us to rediscover Aragón through flavor.
Regional Gastronomy and Wine
The proposal highlights the work of Aragonese restaurants and the diversity of the regional pantry. During this period, participating establishments offer dishes specifically designed to accompany different references from the winery, ranging from young garnachas and rosés to more structured wines.
With Bendita Mesa, we want to celebrate what best defines Aragón during these dates: its ability to gather around a good table, said Javier Domeque, marketing director of Bodegas San Valero.
The pairing thus becomes the common thread of the experience. Each dish finds its wine counterpart, generating combinations that seek to highlight both local products and the character of the Cariñena wines.
For Bodegas San Valero, this type of initiative is part of a broader strategy aimed at bringing wine closer to consumers through gastronomy and collaboration with the hospitality sector.
A Project to Boost Aragonese Hospitality
The Bendita Mesa route joins other gastronomic actions promoted by the winery in recent years, such as culinary festivals, themed days, and pairing campaigns with local restaurants and producers. These initiatives share a common goal: to invigorate the hospitality sector and strengthen the link between wine and regional cuisine.
This is a proposal for restaurants and consumers to enjoy Aragonese cuisine together alongside our wines and cavas, in a journey that highlights the territory and the shared experience.
In this case, the choice of Easter also responds to its tourist significance. During this period, Aragón receives numerous visitors looking for cultural and gastronomic experiences, making the route an opportunity to discover both the regional cuisine and the local wines.
A Historic Winery in the D.O. Cariñena
Founded in 1944, Bodegas San Valero is one of the historical references of the Denomination of Origin Cariñena. The cooperative brings together hundreds of grape growers and manages thousands of hectares of vineyards, with a particular focus on indigenous varieties such as garnacha and cariñena.
The winery exports its wines to dozens of countries and has become one of the main engines of the Aragonese wine sector, combining viticultural tradition with oenological innovation and gastronomic promotion projects.
With Bendita Mesa, San Valero once again bets on gastronomy as a means to bring wine closer to the public and to showcase the culinary talent of Aragón. A journey through bars and restaurants that shows that, in this land, many of the best stories begin around a table.
