A candlelit dinner

The room & the cellar
The same fishermen’s house. Forty-six years on the same menu of Catalan wine.
The cave beneath Fanal Racou has held Empordà wine since the family first opened in 1978 — long before the cellar upstairs grew to its current 320 labels. Today, 92% of those bottles come from the Empordà and Priorat denominations of origin, curated by head sommelier Joan Casademont (WSET Diploma, 2014).
Private events are paired by Joan personally. Guests taste wines that rarely leave the cellar: old-vine Carinyena from Cap de Creus, Garnatxa Negra from inland Alt Empordà, and a small library of Priorat Clos — poured in sequence against María’s weekly-changing menu.

From a planner who books us twice a season
“Fanal Racou is the first call I make for any client who wants a private dinner on the Costa Brava and refuses to compromise on the wine. María cooks, Joan pours, and the cave does the rest of the work. My clients send me a thank-you note within an hour of sitting down.”
