Sonesta International Hotels Corporation (Sonesta) is proud to announce the launch of Global Table by Sonesta, a groundbreaking initiative set to debut in 2025 across select full-service Sonesta hotels. This program aims to bring guests distinctive food and beverage experiences by highlighting emerging wine regions and showcasing global culinary trends. As part of this launch, Sonesta is excited to introduce its inaugural partner, Wines of Rioja, one of the world’s most historic and celebrated wine regions. Known for its exceptional quality and deep winemaking heritage, Rioja will take center stage as the first region featured in the Global Table series, offering guests an unparalleled opportunity to explore its renowned offerings.
From April through June 2025, across nearly 40 Royal Sonesta and Sonesta Hotels & Resorts locations around the country, guests will enjoy a curated selection of wines from Spain’s most iconic and storied wine region in flights, by the glass or by the bottle, along with a calendar of tastings, dinners and other individual creative property activations. The spring events will help to mark the Wines of Rioja’s 100th anniversary celebration this year.
“At Sonesta, we are committed to creating unique, world-class dining experiences that reflect the vibrancy of global food and beverage trends,” said Shawn Cryan, SVP Strategy & Innovation at Sonesta. “With Global Table, we aim to transport our guests on a culinary journey of discovery that celebrates the richness and diversity of international flavors, starting with the remarkable wines of Rioja.”
