An Exclusive Evening · Finland · 2026
A singular evening among the vines, where the old world speaks in the language of wine, candlelight, and ceremony.
Reserve Your Place
Born from the deep-rooted traditions of estate viticulture, La Baronesa honours a lineage of winemakers who understood that every great wine begins not in the cellar, but in the soil, in the memory of a particular hillside, in the patience of a particular season. This gala is our toast to that lineage.
Since the founding of Arioba, we have gathered those who share a reverence for the craft, collectors, sommeliers, artists, and friends of the vine, to celebrate together in a manner befitting the wines themselves: with ceremony, with abundance, and with the quiet gravity of something rare. We welcome you to take your place at the table.
La Baronesa is one of many yearly events to come: each year, the gala will be held in a different country, bringing this celebration of wine culture to a new destination around the world.
