Wine tasting
Taste a curated flight of wines with your friends and learn something new along the way. Classic, funky, or let yourself be surprised.

Private dinner
Stay in for dinner. A personal chef freshly cooks several courses while your sommelier pours and explains the pairing for each one.

How it works
Three simple steps from the first message to the last glass.
Choose your experience
A relaxed wine tasting, a private chef's dinner with paired wines, or expert advice on your restaurant's beverage menu.
Plan it with Don Ruben
Send a message or a WhatsApp. Together we pick the date, the guests, the wines and the style of the evening.
Sit back and enjoy
On the night, everything is taken care of. You enjoy the wines, the food and the company, at home or at a hand-picked venue.
Island evenings, perfectly poured
Wine behaves differently at 30°C and a steady trade wind. Don Ruben chooses, chills and pours every bottle for the Aruban climate, and pairs it with the flavours of the island.
Served at the right temperature
In the tropics, reds are often poured too warm and whites too cold. Every wine is chilled to its ideal serving temperature and kept there all evening.
Pairings with island flavours
Fresh catch of the day, keshi yena, pan bati or a chef's tasting menu: the wines are chosen for what is on the plate.
Full service, wherever you are
Glassware, decanting, ice and an expert at your table. At your villa, by the pool or at one of our hand-picked venues.
