For a night of sumptuous tapas, mini wine-tasting sessions or a colossal Spanish banquet, pick up a card from the Evuna website, or treat wine-lovers to the perfect Christmas dinner accompaniment with a bottle from their acclaimed selection of Spanish wines. Alternatively, you can spoil friends and family with a three-course Sunday Lunch, tiered Afternoon Tea or a voucher with an amount of your choosing from James Martin Manchester.
