At Finca Calderón, we like to follow nature’s rhythm, and our kitchen is no exception.
With autumn now settling over our vineyards in Requena, we’re introducing a new seasonal menu at our restaurant. A wonderful reason to visit us again, discover new dishes and enjoy everything we have to offer.
Our restaurant is located in a historic estate dating back to 1901, carefully restored to preserve its original character while offering all the comforts of a contemporary dining space.
Here, surrounded by vineyards and with the landscape of Tierra Bobal as our backdrop, our kitchen team works with seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. We love traditional cuisine, of course, but we also enjoy giving it a fresh twist, introducing new flavours and creating dishes that surprise you.
Our new autumn menu follows exactly this philosophy. Some well-loved favourites remain, alongside exciting new dishes that we can’t wait for you to try.
What’s new on our autumn menu?
Among the new starters, you’ll find roasted Valencian oyster with ham gazpachuelo, a different way to enjoy this delicacy from our coastline. We’ve also introduced roasted tomato stuffed with salt cod brandade, basil and black olives. Two dishes full of character to get your meal off to a delicious start.
And if you enjoy sharing (or simply trying a little bit of everything, which we think is an excellent approach), take note of these new additions: soft vegetable tempura with seasonal vegetables, feta cheese and sesame, and grilled octopus causa with creamy avocado, ají chilli and lime, bringing a touch of Peruvian-inspired flavours to our table.
There are changes to the main courses, too. Our confit cod now comes with a red mussel curry, while the grilled beef tenderloin is served with green peppercorn sauce and smoky potato purée.
And to finish, a new dessert that’s definitely worth saving some room for: pavlova filled with seasonal citrus fruits and creamy mandarin filling.
Of course, we’re keeping some of the dishes that have already earned their place on our menu. If you have a favourite, there’s a good chance you’ll still find it here.
Wine also has a place at our table
At Finca Calderón Enoresort, wine naturally plays a central role in our dining experience.
Our winery, Raíces Ibéricas, produces wines from different grape varieties and wine regions across Spain, and our menu includes wine pairing recommendations to complement each dish.
As well as ordering à la carte, you can enjoy our two tasting menus, Menú Calderón and Menú Raíces, with the option of adding a carefully selected wine pairing to complement each experience.
If you’re looking for a restaurant in Requena for a special meal, planning a foodie getaway from Valencia or Madrid, or simply fancy visiting us again, here’s another great reason to come.
You can make the most of your visit with a winery tour and wine tasting or, if you’d like to stay a little longer, spend the night at our boutique hotel surrounded by vineyards.

We’d love to welcome you and hear which dishes have become your new favourites.
