AÚNA

The collaboration and empathy between architecture and gastronomy were born intangible from its conception, marking common values; the countryside, honesty, humility, and simplicity of the raw materials, the craftsmanship, and the warmth of home.

VINOVERITAS

The renewed Vinoveritas is based on a new perspective on spaces. From a small unique space we were able to distribute specific rooms to enjoy sociality: a dehors, a caveau for the most precious wines, a private space on the lower level, a long service desk where the barman is the protagonist. Architecture is here at the service of general storytelling, as the wine bottles surround all the walls. All the interior design is entirely tailor-made, and based on the use of natural and strong materials. More
