— For vegetarians:

For those who do not eat meat, they propose to pair Celeste Crianza with a Provencal dish made from aubergine, zucchini, pepper and tomato and scented with a touch of garlic and aromatic herbs.

– For music lovers:

A different way of seeing jazz, with many people playing, collaborations with virtuoso vocalists, concerts where the public listens to them through headphones. Modern, bold, classic … three words that define both the group, its music and this special wine.

– For moviegoers:

“Not all the films that we consider ‘benchmark’ today were immediately successful, but no one would dare to say that Blade Runner is not a cult film today. A film that must be reviewed from time to time, with details that appear as new every time we watch it. Complex, with a message and that has become a classic ”is the wineries’ proposal to pair their Celeste Crianza, a wine to be enjoyed, like the work of Ridley Scott.

– For bibliophiles
