There’s something uniquely special about hosting an event in Cúrate’s private wine cellar. Our private dining menu features seasonal offerings, served tapas-style, that highlight the regional specialties of Spain.
Our Cúrate wine list is exclusively Spanish, featuring artisanal producers from all regions of Spain and the Canary Islands, and was voted 100 Best Wine Restaurants in 2018 by Wine Enthusiast. Sangria, Spanish sherry, vermouth, and cider are also available for private events, along with a full bar and local craft beer.
We can accommodate up to 36 guests for a seated meal or up to 40 guests for a standing cocktail reception.
