Las Fallas: How Valencia Celebrates with Fire, Food, and Wine
Every March, the city of Valencia transforms. The streets fill with towering sculptures, the air smells of fireworks and fried sugar, and everyday life turns into a citywide celebration. This is Las Fallas, one of Spain’s most spectacular festivals. For first-time visitors, it can feel like a mix of an art festival, a carnival, and a fireworks show. But Las Fallas is much more than that. It is tradition, identity, and community. A celebration where fire, creativity, food, and wine all come together. If you have ever been to Valencia in March, you know the city moves with a special energy. And if you have not, it is easy to see why this festival has become one of the most fascinating cultural events in Europe. Fire & Art: when art ends in flames At the heart of Las Fallas are the fallas themselves: enormous temporary sculptures built by local artists over many months. These monumental pieces can rise several stories high and are filled with intricate details, humor, and satire. Many portray scenes from current events, famous personalities, or imaginative characters bursting with color. Each neighborhood in Valencia creates its own falla. For several days, the streets become an open-air gallery where visitors wander between these towering sculptures, admiring the craftsmanship and creativity behind them. But what truly makes this festival unique is its ending. On the night of March 19, during the cremà, every falla is set on fire. Flames light up the city while thousands of people gather to watch as the sculptures—some of which took months to build—slowly disappear in the fire. At first glance, it may seem strange to burn something so elaborate. But that is exactly the spirit of Las Fallas: celebrating the temporary, closing one cycle, and making space to begin again the following year. It is dramatic, loud, emotional, and deeply symbolic. A reminder that some of the most powerful experiences are also the most fleeting. The food of Fallas: flavors that tell a story Like any great Spanish celebration, food plays a central role in Las Fallas. During the festival it is impossible to walk through Valencia without catching the aroma of paella, the region’s most iconic dish. Traditionally made with rice, chicken, rabbit, green beans, and saffron, paella was born in the Valencian countryside and remains one of the area’s greatest culinary traditions. Another essential treat of the festival is pumpkin buñuelos. These small fried pastries are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and usually dusted with sugar. The classic way to enjoy them is fresh and warm, often with a cup of thick hot chocolate while the festivities continue late into the night. And alongside these local flavors, wine always has a place at the table. Valencia and the surrounding regions produce fresh, expressive wines that pair beautifully with Mediterranean cuisine. Crisp whites and vibrant rosés complement dishes built around rice, vegetables, seafood, and bright flavors. A refreshing white can highlight the delicate flavors of a paella. A fruity rosé is perfect for a table full of shared plates and conversation. These are wines made for gathering, which fits perfectly with the spirit of Las Fallas. Bring Fallas home: create a Valencian-inspired gathering Even if you are not in Valencia in March, you can still bring a bit of the spirit of Las Fallas to your table. The secret is not recreating the entire festival, but capturing its essence: sharing food, celebrating together, and enjoying wine without too much formality. Start with a Mediterranean-inspired table. A few tapas to share, olives, crusty bread, cheese, and if you feel inspired, a homemade paella or rice dish. Add lively music, warm lighting, and maybe candles that echo the glow of the festival fires. Let the evening unfold naturally, with plenty of conversation and laughter. And of course, choose wines that invite people to keep pouring another glass. A crisp white to start the evening, a bright rosé to accompany the meal, and perhaps a special bottle to end the night. Las Fallas is, above all, a communal celebration. The best way to experience its spirit is to gather friends or family around the table and enjoy the moment together. A toast to Valencia Las Fallas reminds us of something essential in Mediterranean culture: life is meant to be celebrated. With fire, art, food, and wine, Valencia turns a few days in March into an unforgettable experience. A festival where creativity meets tradition and where every toast becomes part of the celebration. You do not need to travel to Spain to feel a bit of that magic.

There are bottles we don’t buy just to drink, but to save. For a special occasion. For an important visit. For a moment that “deserves it.” And before we know it, months or even years go by… and the bottle is still waiting. That’s exactly why Open That Bottle Night was created: to give you a reason to uncork that bottle you’ve been holding onto and turn an ordinary evening into something truly memorable. The origin of a meaningful tradition Open That Bottle Night was created by wine journalists Dorothy J. Gaiter and John Brecher, who wrote about wine for many years at The Wall Street Journal. Over time, they received countless letters from readers confessing the same thing: they had bottles that felt too special to open. Some were tied to unforgettable trips, others to weddings, anniversaries, or meaningful friendships. The problem was always the same: waiting for the perfect moment… that never quite arrived. So they proposed a simple idea. On one specific night each year, usually the last Saturday in February, everyone would open that bottle. Not out of obligation, but with intention. More than wine: memory and meaning Open That Bottle Night isn’t about opening the most expensive bottle you own. It’s about opening the one with a story. Maybe it’s the bottle you brought back from a wine region you fell in love with. The one you received as a gift during an important moment. The one you bought to celebrate something that ended up being celebrated in a different way. Or simply one you’ve been curious to try for a long time. The real value isn’t in the price tag. It’s in the memory it holds and in the experience of sharing it. We often hesitate because we’re waiting for the perfect occasion. But the truth is, the perfect occasion doesn’t exist. Wine is meant to be enjoyed. And memories come alive when we live them, not when we store them away. Open That Bottle Night reminds us that opening a bottle isn’t “using it up.” It’s giving it purpose. Four wines to make the night unforgettable If you’re joining the tradition this year, here are four distinctive, award-winning wines that can help turn the evening into something special. Each one offers a different expression and personality, so you can choose the one that best fits your moment. Venta del Puerto Nº18, 2017 An elegant, well-structured red crafted from Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah, aged 18 months in French oak barrels. On the nose, it reveals ripe dark fruit, smoky notes, roasted coffee, cigar box, and dark chocolate. On the palate, it is powerful and energetic, with mature, well-integrated tannins and a long, complex finish. A perfect choice for red meats, aged cheeses, or slow-cooked dishes that call for depth and lingering conversation. Los Escribanos Old Vines, 2018 Sourced from 40 to 60-year-old vines in Navarra, this red blend of Monastrell and Alicante Bouschet reflects Mediterranean character and old-vine intensity. It offers aromas of ripe red fruit, wild herbs, mineral, and balsamic notes. On the palate, it is rounded and well-structured, finishing long and fresh. A wine with authenticity and soul, ideal for traditional dishes, rice preparations, meats, or hearty stews. Unsi Terrazas White, 2023 A fresh, expressive white made from 100% White Grenache grown in high-altitude vineyards. Bright and vibrant, it shows citrus, fennel, white flowers, and fresh fruit on the nose. The palate is balanced, lively, and intense, with a clean and pleasant finish. Perfect for seafood, fish, Mediterranean cuisine, or even Asian dishes. A luminous option for a lighter yet equally meaningful celebration. OMG Orange Wine Crafted exclusively from Muscat of Alexandria with extended skin contact, this orange wine stands out for its truly special winemaking approach, blending ancestral techniques with a bold, contemporary style. Deep golden in color with copper glints, it offers aromas of candied orange peel, dried apricot, and orange blossom. On the palate, it is dry and textured, with structure, subtle spice, and a lingering saline finish. An adventurous and memorable choice for those who want their Open That Bottle Night to feel a little unexpected. How to celebrate Open That Bottle Night You don’t need to host a formal dinner or plan something elaborate. You can celebrate with a special meal at home, with friends who share the story behind the bottle, with your partner while revisiting an important memory, or even on your own, turning the evening into a personal ritual. What matters most is opening it with intention. In the world of wine, we talk a lot about vintages, aging, and time. But wine is also about the present moment. It’s about conversation, pause, and everyday celebration. Open That Bottle Night is a powerful reminder that you don’t have to wait for something extraordinary to happen. Sometimes, the extraordinary begins the moment you decide to open that bottle. This year, which one will you open? 🍷

Mindful drinking, low and non-alcoholic Spanish wines, and a more balanced way to enjoy January. Dry January is often seen as a challenge, a month filled with rules, limits, and restrictions.
