Our planned tastings
Italian Favourites from Tuscany and Piedmont

We travel through Italy – from lighter, more elegant wines to fuller, more powerful styles.
We will taste
White and red wines from Tamburini in Tuscany.
Red wines from Valpolicella in the east and Piedmont in the west.
From lighter Chianti and Valpolicella to fuller-bodied Barbaresco.
Price: SEK 995 per person
Served with the wines
Antipasti
Mushroom risotto
During the evening, you will also have the opportunity to order the wines for delivery directly to your door.
Wines from Mallorca
Tuesday, 13 October at 18:00
Do you love Mallorca? Then take the opportunity to discover some of the island’s wonderful wines.
Did you know that wine was being made in Mallorca as far back as 4,000 years ago?
Genetic research has identified around 40 unique grape varieties found only in Mallorca. Manto Negro, Callet, Gorgollassa, Fogoneu, Escursac, Prensal Blanc and Giró Ros are among the island’s most widely grown indigenous varieties.
Rolf Olofsson is an “ambassador” for Mallorcan wines and will lead the tasting, giving you an insight into the island’s diverse wines. Over the past 20 years, Mallorca has grown from around 30 wineries to more than 150 producers.
Rolf with Barbara, who runs Mesquida Mora – one of Mallorca’s finest wineries.
During the evening, we will taste five different wines made from local grape varieties, accompanied by a tasting plate of Spanish flavours.
Price per person: SEK 875
VIÑA VIK, additional tasting on October 27
Welcome to Barrique on October 27th.
In November 2025, a press release announced that VIK had been recognized as the World's Best Vineyard 2025!
Svenska Vinbolaget has had the pleasure of working with VIK for just over two years, and it has been an exciting time, to say the least. After ranking third on the prestigious list, they rose to number two in 2024!!
And now—number one! The best vineyard in the world!!!
The wines we plan to taste on October 27th:
VIK 2021. The critically acclaimed, consummate Cabernet Franc-based wine that, among other accolades, received 100 points from James Suckling and was rated 98 points by Andreas Larsson!!
La Piu Belle 2022. A wonderfully balanced wine made primarily from Carménère, Chile’s national grape variety.
Milla Cala 2022. A VIK bargain??! 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Carménère… A favorite for many.
”A” Cabernet Franc 2023. 85% Cabernet Franc. A "mini-VIK" and definitely a favorite!
Stone VIK 2024. I am not a fan of natural wines. But when what might be the world's best natural wine was presented, even I was blown away.
Barrique’s kitchen serves:
A charcuterie platter
Black Angus ribeye (250g) with glazed pearl onions, seasonal mushrooms, scallions, potato gratin, and red wine sauce
Price: 1,595 SEK/person
At Barrique Wine Bar, Berzeliigatan 18, Gothenburg
