First Impression

You don't expect to find Vega Sicilia Unico and Domaine Leflaive on a wine list inside a theme park resort, but here we are. The list at Capa lands with the confidence of a restaurant that knows exactly what it's doing — Spanish spine, serious depth, and a by-the-glass program that punches well above its zip code. This isn't a hotel wine list running on autopilot.

Selection Deep Dive

The 350-500 bottle list is anchored in Spain — Rioja, Ribera del Duero, and Priorat get serious treatment with names like CVNE Imperial Gran Reserva, Muga Prado Enea, and Alvaro Palacios L'Ermita. Italy and France show up in force too, with Sassicaia, Tignanello, and Château Margaux covering the prestige bases without feeling like a hotel vanity list. California gets its own chapter — Opus One, Caymus Special Selection, and yes, Screaming Eagle for those who need to see the name on the table. The breadth here is genuine; this is a list built by someone who actually drinks wine, not one assembled to impress a purchasing committee.

By the Glass

Twenty to thirty-five pours is an ambitious glass program, and Capa leans into it — Marqués de Riscal Rioja Reserva at $16 and Roda I Tempranillo at $22 give you real Spanish drinking without committing to a bottle. The Catena Zapata Malbec at $18 by the glass is a quietly smart addition that rounds out the program for non-Spanish drinkers at the table.

💰Best Value

Roda I Tempranillo 2019 — $22

Roda I is a serious Rioja — structured, age-worthy, made by one of the appellation's most respected modern producers. Getting it by the glass at $22 inside a Four Seasons resort is genuinely surprising. Order two.

💎Hidden Gem

Sassicaia Super Tuscan 2020

At $65, this is one of the most storied bottles in Italian wine sitting at a price that most people will walk past in favor of something more familiar. Sassicaia built the Super Tuscan category — this is the original, and at this price point it's a steal compared to what you'd pay at a comparable fine dining room.

Skip This

Caymus Vineyards Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon

Caymus Special Selection is everywhere, costs a lot, and the markup at this level of restaurant rarely makes it worth it when the same money gets you into Opus One territory or something far more interesting on this list. It's the safe choice for people who haven't looked past the first page.

🍽️Perfect Pairing

CVNE Imperial Gran Reserva Rioja + Jamón Ibérico de Bellota

Imperial Gran Reserva is all dried fruit, leather, and earthy depth — exactly the flavor architecture that Jamón Ibérico de Bellota wants next to it. The fat in the ham softens the wine's tannins and the wine's age amplifies the nuttiness in the pork. This is the pairing you came to Capa to make.

🍷Half-Price Wine Night

WednesdayHalf-price wine night every Wednesday — a legitimate deal on a list with this much depth. Plan accordingly.

🔥 The Bottom Line

Capa is the rare resort restaurant where the wine list is a genuine reason to show up, not an afterthought tacked onto a view. With Thomas Rotherham running the program, Wednesday half-price wine nights, and a Spanish-forward list that earns its Best of Award of Excellence, we'd send a friend here without hesitation — even if they weren't staying at the Four Seasons.
