IT’S A PINXTO PARTY this Thursday, August 29th! And we’ve got an exciting update…

Additional tickets are now available for this previously sold-out event at , featuring Chef and Co-Founder, Chef Silver Iocovozzi. Limited spots are available for the party, happening Thursday, August 29th from 6pm-9pm. If you have attended a Pinxto Party at La Bodega by Cúrate before, you know that this is absolutely an event that is not to be missed!

Asheville locals and beyond are familiar, no doubt, with Neng Jr.’s co-owners Cherry and Chef Silver Iocovozzi, whose groundbreaking, community-funded restaurant has been written up in publications such as Esquire, Bon Appetit, Interview Magazine, and The New York Times. Adding to their acclaim, Chef Iocovozzi was named Esquire’s Rising Star Chef in 2022, and the restaurant was a much-anticipated James Beard Foundation Finalist for Best New Restaurant in 2023.

Neng’s is - indisputably - the first of its kind in Asheville, integrating Southern roots with a Filipinx cuisine crafted through the culinary lens of a second-generation Filipinx immigrant. Chef Silver seeks to preserve global food traditions, with the goal of introducing Filipinx traditions and heritage to “those that have or have not experienced the complexities of this understated global cuisine.”

The first wave of tickets to this event originally sold out on the first day of announcement, so act quick! Click the link in our bio to claim yours!

Savor a sip of Spain with us tomorrow evening, when we will be joined by ‘ Mark Lindzy from 4pm - 6pm for a sampling of small production wines and cider crafted in the spirit of tradition from the diverse soils of the Iberian Peninsula.

La Bodega by Cúrate will be offering each featured wine by the glass, or as part of a flight of three glass pours, available with an optional chef-selected pinxto pairing.

Begin your tasting with the tart and tangy taste of Arratzain Sagardo Natural Sidra, crafted with native yeast in the Usurbil mountains on the 500 year old orchards of Arratzain Inn.

Then, take a journey to the Sant Sadurní d'Anoia Village in DO Classic Penedès, where three generations of the Torello Roca family (AT Roca) are creating groundbreaking Cava from organic, indigenous Catalan grapes harvested 100% by hand, then vinified in the traditional method as a brut nature wine.

Finally, take your tastebuds on a trip East to explore the terroir of Riberia Sacra, Galicia’s slate soils, with Adegas Guimara’s refined expression of Mencia, enhanced by small percentages of traditional local grape varieties like Brancellao, Caiño, Marenzao.

No reservations are needed for this event, so stop by to take a bicoastal trip through Spanish wine country!

We would like to take a moment to shine a light on an employee that has truly been making a difference at La Bodega by Cúrate.

Sam Messer, Sous Chef, has been a beloved member of our team since joining Cúrate as a prep cook six years ago. In the time that he has been with the company he has continued to grow and take on more responsibility.

Sam is organized, efficient, kind and always helpful. He shows care, always practices fair decision making, and is willing to sacrifice some of his own comfort to see others succeed.

Thank you, Sam, for being an outstanding leader and for all that you do! We are endlessly lucky to have you as a part of our team.

All your La Bodega by Cúrate favorites, available…. all day! Summer Menu: now live at the restaurant!

Whether you’re craving snacky pica picas to nibble alongside an aperitivo hora bevy, a spread of small plate tapas, or a savory bocadillo to fill you up, our new menu encompasses the best of La Bodega by Cúrate’s offerings: large and small plates, all in one place.

If you are interested in the ultimate Spanish culinary experience, take a journey on El Camino de La Bodega: a guided journey through our menu from the eyes of our chefs. During the day, choose from our Bodega Business Lunch (for when you’re short on time, but want to eat right) or the Bodega Leisure Lunch (if you're down to take it slow and dine like a true Spaniard). In the evening, indulge in our Bodega Dinner Experience, a multi-course exploration of our chef’s favorites on and off the menu, available with an optional wine pairing.

The true fans will notice a few Cúrate mainstays that we sneaked in, as well. See if you can figure out which items we’ve added. The restaurant at La Bodega by Cúrate is now open Tuesday - Sunday, beginning at 11am.

Salud to World Verdejo Day! This versatile grape, indigenous to the DO Rueda, is often compared to Sauvignon Blanc with notes of grass, stone fruit and sometimes fennel. The grape almost became extinct in the 20th century but winemaker Ángel Rodríguez Vidal from Bodega MartÍnsancho worked to save this aromatic grape from demise.

Come celebrate Ribera y Rueda Wine with us all month long. “Verdejo wines are some of my favorites; they’re aged to create a creamy texture. Pair with piquillo peppers stuffed with goat cheese or bacalao.”, Jess Salyer, Wine Director at Cúrate and La Bodega by Cúrate.

Visit the wine bar upstairs to try one by the glass or take a bottle home with you from downstair's market!
