Throw A Spanish Tapas Party
Are you having guests over and trying to think of how to make your party unique? How about hosting a Spanish Tapas party with a few of your friends. It is easy, casual, fun, and delicious.
What Are Tapas?
Tapas are small plates of food. Basically, it is the Spanish term for a snack or appetizer.
Spanish Tapas Party Recipes
Everyone will enjoy the Chorizo and Potatoes tapas dish as well as the Spanish Olives and Prosciutto Crostini with the Gloria Ferrer SparklingWine!
One of the styles I really like is a rustic elegance style. Basically, I love casual and comfortable furnishings but love a touch of elegance, such as a chandelier or other sparkly table decoration.
A Spanish Tapas party fits that style to a T. It is casual in that it has several small plates of appetizers that people can gather around and share. But I love to add a little elegance by pairing the tapas withGloria Ferrer SparklingWine! Plus I just love the bubbles!
What Drinks To Serve For A Spanish Tapas Party
For sparkling wine, I like Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyards because it is owned and founded by the Ferrer family of Spain and named for José Ferrer’s wife, Gloria. The winery opened in 1986 in the now-famous region in southernmost Sonoma County.
In addition, Gloria Ferrer is not only the first sparkling wine house in Sonoma Carnerosbut also the first to bring back clones from France to plant their vineyard, and theyhave earned over 500 gold medals and 50 90+ scores in the last 5 years.
Tapas parties are fun because they encourage people to gather around a table and visit while they share small plates of appetizers. I love Spanish flavors, and I know I’mnot the only one since Tapas are becoming increasingly more popular year after year.
Have you seen all the Tapas restaurants opening up? We have dozens in our town, and I’m sure you have them in your town too.
However, I prefer having a few friends over at myhome where it is a little more relaxed and casual.
A delicious yet simple Tapas appetizer is a Spanish Olive Prosciutto Crostini. Doesn’t thatname sound fancy? It is really simple. It is a sliced Spanish olive on top of Prosciutto and Manchego cheese (or you can use any cheese you like) on top of a toasted baguette slice. It is so simple yet so delicious!
My favorite Tapas recipe is the Chorizo and Potatoes. I pan fried the pork chorizo with chopped onions and diced potatoes. The spicy chorizo adds so much flavor to the potatoes.
Other simple options are to add marinated olives in a bowl and serve with some toasted french bread and cheese.

Of course, it dresses up the tapas to wash them down with some fun bubbly sparkling wine from Gloria Ferrer.
And maybe just another glass of Gloria Ferrer Sparkling Wine! The Blanc De Blancs and Sonoma Brut paired well with the Tapas!
The vintage Blanc de Blancs is made entirely of 100% hand-harvested Chardonnay. This gives it a complex yet dry and elegant flavor profile that continues to improve with extended aging.
The Sonoma Brut is crafted entirely from hand-harvested Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. This brut is dominated by Pinot Noir, which is a stylistic decision to enable the complex aromatic and palate profile.
Go ahead and plan your Spanish Tapas Party with these delicious recipes and Gloria Ferrer Sparkling Wines!
