Quite a lot going on in the week ahead! A number of events will be focusing on Costa Rican cuisine, including food and drink. It’s a week that features Spanish-style beach tapas, a cooking session focusing on creating delicious and interesting vegan food, a beach plaza wine tasting at the Ponciana Bar, and a classic brunch on Sunday to wrap things up.
This Tuesday evening at 6pm, Chef Gilberto Briceño will be hosting A Walk in Spain as part of the Alma Viajera Pop-Up Dinner series, hosted down in the Beach Club. The focus will be Costa Rican cuisine. Specifically tapas made from fresh-caught seafood and locally sourced produce. The tradition of tapas is one that fits Las Catalinas well. It’s a combination of local flavors best enjoyed with friends, all while walking through a beautiful town.
Chef Gilberto will be hosting Vegan Unlimited this Wednesday at 6pm in the Beach Club. It’s a session that shows the power of plants and vegetables in fueling innovative cooking. This is a skill that’s very valuable to learn in Costa Rica! The country does have over 6% of the world’s biodiversity after all. Among those Costa Rican fruits and vegetables are a whole host of delicious, fascinating options.
This Friday Ponciana will be hosting a wine tasting at 6pm. The event offers a chance to explore some fine wine and pairings as the sun sets over Playa Danta. Red and white wine are just the start with a whole host of other options potentially on the list. Might there be a rosé or even the appearance of some bubbles? You'll have to attend to find out!
It’s an atmosphere not to be missed as you’re guided through a series of fine vintages alongside friends old and new in the fading golden light of day.
Finally, next Sunday at 10am there’ll be a Sunday Brunch at Santarena, a favorite Las Catalinas tradition. The Santarena team always delivers a menu filled with fresh, delicious, and healthy options to enjoy in a stylish family atmosphere.
Bask in the deliciousness of tasty, Costa Rican cuisine. Surrounded by friends, family, and fun. Do not miss this!
We hope to see you there!
