Barcelona Wine Bar

CELEBRATING OUR TALENT! We have two incredible leaders and Chefs that we want to acknowledge.-Chef Emilio Garcia (right pic) and Chef Juan Rivera (left pic). These two badasses lead the culinary team with our ever-changing menu. They use their inspiration to work with seasonal ingredients supported by long-developed relationships with local farmers. They influence the team by creating annual gastronomy immersion trips across Spain- introducing their team to artisians, winemakers, chefs and iconic restaurants. They are constantly in search of our most important culinary ingredients, especially those that we source from Spain, such as Moli Coloma olive oil, Monte Nevado and Mangalica! YUM! These two are a WOW adding food safety, quality assurance and oversee our our culinary training! Thank you Juan Rivera and EMILIO GARCIA for your passion, leadership and bringing the BEST VERSION of YOU everyday! Barcelona Wine Bar is better for you both leading! Cheers! #leadership #chefdriven #culture #tapas #cheflove #spainlove #bestteam

CHECK OUT Barcelona Wine Bar where the team delivers on the experience! Best Paella event for our guests! Adam Greenberg (former Chopped Grand Champion) and our very own Chef Nick Souza went head to head with massive pans and simmering soffrito. The guests that attended got to watch, taste, and voted for the best of these iconic Spanish single-pan dishes as they were prepared right before the guests eyes. It was an incredible event and amazing energy! Celebrating the team that put this together and continue to bring connections to our guests and communities!

"The menu is built for drinking, snacking, passing plates, stealing bites, all your favorite pastimes. You'll find a nice selection of snacks and cheeses to build your charcuterie board (happiness is letting me pick my cheeses). Roughly 30 tapas dishes run from patatas bravas and jamon & manchego croquetas to swordfish a la plancha and beyond. Small bites with simple preparations, but big flavors." Thank you for spending time with us, Stephanie March! #barcelonawinebar

At Barcelona Wine Bar , we understand the importance of service, great food and celebrating as a family. Genuine hospitality and going above and beyond for those around us is in our DNA. We are so grateful to The Children's Inn at NIH for the incredible life-changing services you’re providing to young patients and their families in the DC area — and are so glad to have spent the day together #hospitality #barcelonawinebar #community #smiles #Tapas ?????? A big shoutout to our Culinary team at 14th for crafting a menu for the families, taking into consideration all their needs. Also, a special thanks to Lauren Brown, General Manager of Reston. Two Barcelona coming together for the same cause is unique and amplifies the impact in our community. ? Masood Ahmed Erika Killian

A little over 2 years at Barcelona Wine Bar and what a ride it has been. To say that this has been the opportunity of a lifetime is such an understatement. I’ve been a part of an amazing team of badass people who really mean it when they say “hospitality first.” I don’t like to quantify things as I really like to live in the moment, but just a few numbers: New Restaurant Openings - 3 (and 2 more incoming) New Concept Opening - 1 (Corsica RiNo, you have my heart.) Bev Managers Trained - 12 (and coached many, many more) Trips to Spain - 1 (Vigo, you have my heart) Porrons Given - You’d have to ask the dedicated guests of Passyunk Bravas Eaten - [redacted] American Airlines Miles Accrued - The limit does not exist Wine and Cocktails obsessed over - Countless I thank each and every member of the Barcelona Wine Bar family for being such an inspirationional team to work for and with. Here’s to many more years and many more celebrations!

We bring managers and chefs to Spain because it imbues them with a sense of understanding we can't get any other way. There's a lot that discussion and explanation can do, and then there's waves of "a ha!" moments that only come from being there-- tasting it-- feeling it. We make as many trips a year with different members of the team as we're able-- usually 2 and never the same trip twice. This year, in addition to our usual two trips with managers and chefs, we also held our annual chef retreat in Spain. During the five-day retreat, we explored the country, planted olive trees (that will eventually produce olive oil for our guests), and visited our producer partners. These trips are a part of the soul of Barcelona Wine Bar and we can't wait for the next one. #barcelonawinebar
