Since its establishment in 1984, the Gran Orden has recognised exceptional contributions from members of the wine trade who have gone above and beyond the call of duty in their promotion of Spanish wines. The Gran Orden is currently made up of 71 wine professionals across the spectrum, from winemakers and winery owners in Spain to wine importers and retailers in the UK, as well as chefs, restaurateurs, journalists, educators and many more besides.
The Investiture Dinner is an annual event that celebrates the excellence of Spanish wines in the UK, bringing together over 250 key figures in the trade to officially welcome the new Caballeros to the Gran Orden. The bespoke dinner menu will be designed and thoughtfully paired to highlight the wines selected specifically for the event by a panel of Gran Orden members . This makes the dinner an ideal opportunity to showcase outstanding Spanish wines to some of the most influential people in the trade.
The cheeses presented at the Gran Orden de Caballeros del Vino Investiture Dinner 2026 are the following ones:
