Bodega Sommos can host a board meeting for a handful of people or a convention, a product launch or a wedding for up to 300 guests. Its halls and rooms take groups from 2 to 300 people, and a 100-seat auditorium handles plenary sessions. The winery stands among its own vineyards outside Barbastro, in the province of Huesca, at the heart of the Somontano wine region in Aragon.
Seminars and company events
The events team plans business meetings, conventions, networking sessions, specialized training and team building. Training days can bring in outside experts, with a coordinator who drafts the program together with the client. Team building is designed to order and often uses the wine itself: past formats include a tasting built around emotions, a session where teams make their own blend, and a program on high-performance teams. Themes on offer include creativity, conflict resolution, sense of belonging and sales. Outdoor formats work for both small and large groups.
The whole winery can be booked for private use. The site lists car launches, product presentations, commercials and photo shoots among the uses. Staff speak several languages, which helps with international delegations.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings, christenings, communions, birthdays and other private celebrations are also on the program. Couples can choose between several ceremony settings: outdoors facing the Pyrenees, by the lake in front of the winery building, among the experimental vineyards, or indoors in the barrel room. Aperitifs are served on the lakeside terrace, and the main meal in a glass-walled dining room that looks out over the vines. The event halls hold up to 300 guests, with separate areas for each part of the day.
Rooms and capacities
The auditorium seats 100 and has modern audiovisual equipment plus booths for simultaneous interpretation. Other rooms and halls take groups from 2 to 300 people, most with views over the vineyards. The barrel room is used for ceremonies and receptions, the lakeside terrace for drinks, and the glass dining room for banquets. The winery does not publish a capacity for each room, so the events team confirms layouts for a given group.
Catering
Food comes from the kitchen and staff of Restaurante SOMMOS, the winery's own restaurant. It covers everything from coffee breaks and aperitifs by the lake to seated banquets for large groups, so there is no outside caterer to coordinate.
History and setting
The winery is surrounded by 155 hectares of vineyard and belongs to the Somontano designation of origin. Its contemporary building, which the winery itself describes as avant-garde, overlooks a lake and the vines, with the Pyrenees on the horizon. Visits and tastings are offered alongside events, which makes it easy to add a cellar tour to a working day.
Getting there
The winery is on the outskirts of Barbastro, a town on the road between Huesca and Lleida. Zaragoza is the nearest large city and the usual airport for groups. Most delegates arrive by car or chartered coach, and the events team can help plan transfers.
